New! Vulnerability Priority Rating (VPR)
Tenable calculates a dynamic VPR for every vulnerability. VPR combines vulnerability information with threat intelligence and machine learning algorithms to predict which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploited in attacks. Read more about what VPR is and how it's different from CVSS.
VPR Score: 7.4
Synopsis
The remote host contains a web browser that is affected by several vulnerabilities.
Description
The version of Safari installed on the remote Windows host is earlier than 3.2.3. Such versions are potentially affected by several issues :
- A heap-based buffer overflow issue in the libxml library when handling long entity names could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2008-3529)
- Multiple input validation issues exist in Safari's handling of 'feed:' URLs, which could be abused to execute arbitrary JavaScript code. (CVE-2009-0162)
- A memory corruption issue in WebKit's handling of SVGList objects could lead to arbitrary code execution.
(CVE-2009-0945)
- The browser uses the HTTP Host header to determine the context of a 4xx/5xx CONNECT response from a proxy server.
This could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of a legitimate server, circumventing the browser's same-origin policy. (CVE-2009-2058)
Solution
Upgrade to Safari 3.2.3 or later.
