Descriptions
WebCore in Apple Safari does not properly perform garbage collection of JavaScript document elements, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap corruption and application crash) via a reference to the ownerNode property of a copied CSSStyleSheet object of a STYLE element, as originally demonstrated on Apple iPhone before 2.0 and iPod touch before 2.0, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-1590.
WebCore en Safari de Apple no realiza apropiadamente garbage collection de elementos de documentos JavaScript, lo que permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de pila y bloqueo de aplicación) por medio de una referencia a la propiedad ownerNode de un objeto CSSStyleSheet copiado de un elemento STYLE, tal y como es demostrado originalmente en el iPhone anterior a la versión 2.0 y en el iPod touch anterior a la versión 2.0, de Apple, una vulnerabilidad diferente de CVE-2008-1590.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple Safari. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page.
The specific flaw exists in the garbage collection of JavaScript document elements in WebCore. When a CSSStyleSheet object of a style element is copied, and the style element is deallocated, a reference to the ownerNode property of the copied CSSStyleSheet object will result in a heap corruption allowing for the execution of arbitrary code.
