Descriptions

The Page Loading implementation in WebKit in Apple iOS before 9.3 and Safari before 9.1 mishandles character encoding during access to cached data, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and obtain sensitive information via a crafted web site.

La implementación Page Loading en WebKit en Apple iOS en versiones anteriores a 9.3 y Safari en versiones anteriores a 9.1 no gestiona correctamente el codificado de caracteres durante el acceso a los datos cacheados, lo que permite a atacantes remotos eludir la Same Origin Policy y obtener información sensible a través de un sitio web manipulado.

WebKitGTK+ versions prior to 2.10.5 suffers from memory corruption, code execution, missing restriction, and denial of service vulnerabilities.
