Summary

Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before 5.0.5; iOS before 4.3.2 for iPhone, iPod, and iPad; iOS before 4.2.7 for iPhone 4 (CDMA); and possibly other products allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by adding children to a WBR tag and then removing the tag, related to text nodes, as demonstrated by Chaouki Bekrar during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2011.

    descriptionThe version of Safari installed on the remote Windows host is earlier than 5.0.5. It therefore is potentially affected by several issues : - An integer overflow issue in the handling of nodesets could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2011-1290) - A use-after-free issue in the handling of text nodes could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2011-1344)
