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: 5.9
Synopsis
A web browser installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.
Description
The version of Apple Safari installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is prior to 10.0.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in WebKit due to improper validation of user-supplied input and improper handling of objects in memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4692, CVE-2016-7635, CVE-2016-7652)
- Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in WebKit due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to disclose memory contents. (CVE-2016-4743, CVE-2016-7656)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in WebKit due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to disclose user information. (CVE-2016-7586)
- Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in WebKit due to improper validation of user-supplied input and improper state management. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-7587, CVE-2016-7589:, CVE-2016-7610, CVE-2016-7611, CVE-2016-7639, CVE-2016-7640, CVE-2016-7641, CVE-2016-7642, CVE-2016-7645, CVE-2016-7646, CVE-2016-7648, CVE-2016-7649, CVE-2016-7654)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in WebKit due to improper handling of JavaScript prompts. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-7592)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in WebKit due to the use of uninitialized memory. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to disclose memory contents. (CVE-2016-7598)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists that is triggered when handling HTTP redirections. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to disclose user information. (CVE-2016-7599)
- An information disclosure vulnerability exists in WebKit due to improper validation of user-supplied input and blob URLs. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted blob URL, to disclose user information. (CVE-2016-7623)
- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in WebKit due to improper validation of user-supplied input and improper state management. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-7632)
- A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Safari Reader due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to follow a specially crafted link, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2016-7650)
Solution
Upgrade to Apple Safari version 10.0.2 or later.
