Descriptions

WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0, iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.2.1, and iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 2.2.1 does not initialize a pointer during handling of a Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) attr function call with a large numerical argument, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted HTML document.

WebKit en Apple Safari anteriores a v4.0 no inicializa un puntero durante el proceso de llamada de función attr Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) con un argumento numérico largo, lo que permite a los atacantes remotos ejecutar arbitrariamente código o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de la aplicación) a través de documentos HTML manipulados.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple WebKit. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page.
The specific flaw exists in the handling of attr() functions in a CSS content object. When a large numerical value is passed as the argument to the attr() function, a memory corruption will occur which can be leveraged to execute arbitrary coder under the context of the current user.
