Synopsis

The remote host contains a web browser that is affected by several vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Apple Safari installed on the remote Mac OS X host is earlier than 6.0.2. It is, therefore, potentially affected by several issues :

- A use-after-free issue in the handling of SVG images in WebKit code could lead to arbitrary, remote code execution. (CVE-2012-5112)
