Descriptions
Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted XML document.
Vulnerabilidad de uso después de liberacion en WebKit de Apple Safari en versiones anteriores a la v4.0.5 permite a usuarios remotos ejecutar comandos de su elección o provocar una denegación de servicio (caida de la aplicación) a través de un documento XML modificado.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple Safari's Webkit. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the library's support for mouse events on a particular element. If a mouse event is dispatched to an element when one of it's attributes is undefined, the library will dereference a memory pointer pointing to arbitrary data. Usage of this element can then lead to code execution under the context of the application.
