Se ha descubierto un problema en ciertos productos de Apple. Las versiones anteriores a la 10.3.2 de iOS se han visto afectadas, así como las versiones anteriores a la 10.1.1 de Safari. El problema está relacionado con el componente \"WebKit\". Esto permite que atacantes remotos ejecuten código arbitrario o provoquen una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y cierre inesperado de la aplicación) mediante un sitio web manipulado.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Apple Safari. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of cached stylesheets. The issue results from the lack of validating the existence of an object prior to performing operations on the object. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
