Descriptions

WebKit in Apple iOS before 9.3.3, Safari before 9.1.2, and tvOS before 9.2.2 allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and obtain image date from an unintended web site via a timing attack involving an SVG document.

WebKit en Apple iOS en versiones anteriores a 9.3.3, Safari en versiones anteriores a 9.1.2 y tvOS en versiones anteriores a 9.2.2 permite a atacantes remotos eludir la Same Origin Policy y obtener la fecha de imagen de un sitio web no intencionado a través de un ataque de sincronización que implica un documento SVG.

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.
