WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before 6.1.3 and 7.x before 7.0.3, does not properly validate WebProcess IPC messages, which allows remote attackers to bypass a sandbox protection mechanism and read arbitrary files by leveraging WebProcess access.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before 6.1.3 and 7.x before 7.0.3, does not properly validate WebProcess     IPC messages, which allows remote attackers to bypass a sandbox protection mechanism and read arbitrary     files by leveraging WebProcess access. (CVE-2014-1297)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote host has Safari installed that is older than 6.1.3 or 7.0.3, and is thus unpatched for the following WebKit vulnerabilities :

 - Unspecified errors exist that could allow memory corruption, application crashes and possibly arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-2871, CVE-2013-2926, CVE-2013-2928, CVE-2013-6625, CVE-2014-1289, CVE-2014-1290, CVE-2014-1291, CVE-2014-1292, CVE-2014-1293, CVE-2014-1294, CVE-2014-1298, CVE-2014-1299, CVE-2014-1300, CVE-2014-1301, CVE-2014-1302, CVE-2014-1303, CVE-2014-1304, CVE-2014-1305, CVE-2014-1307, CVE-2014-1308, CVE-2014-1309, CVE-2014-1310, CVE-2014-1311, CVE-2014-1312, CVE-2014-1313, CVE-2014-1713)
 - An error exists related to IPC messages and 'WebProcess' that could allow an attacker to read arbitrary files. (CVE-2014-1297)

The version of Apple Safari installed on the remote Mac OS X host is a version prior to 6.1.3 or 7.0.3. It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities related to the included WebKit components :

  - Unspecified errors exist that could allow memory     corruption, application crashes and possibly arbitrary     code execution. (CVE-2013-2871, CVE-2013-2926,     CVE-2013-2928, CVE-2013-6625, CVE-2014-1289,     CVE-2014-1290, CVE-2014-1291, CVE-2014-1292,     CVE-2014-1293, CVE-2014-1294, CVE-2014-1298,     CVE-2014-1299, CVE-2014-1300, CVE-2014-1301,     CVE-2014-1302, CVE-2014-1303, CVE-2014-1304,     CVE-2014-1305, CVE-2014-1307, CVE-2014-1308,     CVE-2014-1309, CVE-2014-1310, CVE-2014-1311,     CVE-2014-1312, CVE-2014-1313, CVE-2014-1713)

  - An error exists related to IPC messages and 'WebProcess'     that could allow an attacker to read arbitrary files.
