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 an HTML document with improperly nested tags.

Vulnerabilidad uso después de la liberación (use-after-free) en Apple Safari anterior v4.0.5 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código de su elección o causar una denegación de servicio (caída de aplicación) a través de un documento HTML con etiquetas inadecuadamente anidadas.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable software utilizing Apple's WebKit library. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page.
The specific flaw exists due to a failure to unregister a callback pointer during the destruction of a particular type of element when embedded inside a 'blink' container. The application dereferences the original resource which can can be leveraged by an attacker to execute arbitrary code under the context of the current user.
