This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on affected 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 TextNode objects. 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 in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute code in the context of the current process.
Updates for iOS 14.0 and iPadOS 14.0 address buffer overflow, code execution, cross site scripting, denial of service, information leakage, out of bounds read, out of bounds write, spoofing, and use-after-free vulnerabilities.
