Descriptions

The "Clear History and Website Data" feature in Apple Safari before 9.1.1, as used in iOS before 9.3.2 and other products, mishandles the deletion of browsing history, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by leveraging read access to a Safari directory.

La función "Clear History and Website Data" en Apple Safari en versiones anteriores a 9.1.1, cómo se utiliza en iOS en versiones anteriores a 9.3.2 y otros productos, no maneja correctamente el borrado del historial de navegación, lo que podría permitir a usuarios locales obtener información sensible aprovechando el acceso de lectura a un directorio de Safari.

Safari 9.1.1 is now available and addresses history deletion, data disclosure, code execution, and various other vulnerabilities.
