Descriptions

Use-after-free vulnerability in the garbage-collection implementation in WebCore in WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap corruption and application crash) via an SVG animation element, related to SVG set objects, SVG marker elements, the targetElement attribute, and unspecified "caches."

Vulnerabilidad de uso después de la liberación en la implementación de la recolección de basura en WebCore en WebKit en Apple Safari anteriores a v4.0 que permite a los atacantes remotos ejecutar arbitrariamente código o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria dinámica y caída de la aplicación) a través de un elemento de animación SVG, en relación a objetos establecidos SVG, elementos indicadores SVG, el atributo targetElement, y "caches" no especificadas.

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 set elements in WebCore. When an SVG set object is appended to an SVG marker element that is dereferenced, calls to the targetElement attribute will fail to reference count the marker element. When the set element is appended to another object, subsequent calls to the targetElement attribute will result in a heap corruption which can be leveraged to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current user.
