Se descubrió un problema en ciertos productos de Apple. iOS anterior a versión 10.3.2 está afectado. macOS anterior a versión 10.12.5 está afectado. El problema involucra el componente "SQLite". Permite a los atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y bloqueo de aplicación) por medio de un sitio web diseñado.

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 WebSQL. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can result in a type confusion condition. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the current process.
