Descriptions

WebKit, as used in Apple iOS before 9.3.2, Safari before 9.1.1, and tvOS before 9.2.1, improperly tracks taint attributes, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted web site.

WebKit, como se utiliza en Apple iOS en versiones anteriores a 9.3.2, Safari en versiones anteriores a 9.1.1 y tvOS en versiones anteriores a 9.2.1, no maneja adecuadamente el seguimiento de los atributos taint, lo que permite a atacantes remotos obtener información sensible a través de una página web manipulada.

A large number of security issues were discovered in the WebKitGTK+ Web and JavaScript engines. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related to web browser security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of service attacks, and arbitrary code execution.
