"The version of Apple Safari installed on the remote Mac OS X or macOS
host is prior to 10.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple memory corruption issues exist in WebKit that
    allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to cause a
    denial of service condition or execute arbitrary code
    via specially a crafted website. (CVE-2016-4611,
    CVE-2016-4729, CVE-2016-4730, CVE-2016-4731,
    CVE-2016-4734, CVE-2016-4735, CVE-2016-4737,

    CVE-2016-4767, CVE-2016-4768, CVE-2016-4769)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the
    Reader feature due to improper validation of
    user-supplied input before returning it to users. An
    unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by
    convincing a user to follow a specially crafted link, to
    execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser
    session. (CVE-2016-4618)

  - A flaw exists in WebKit due to improper handling of
    error prototypes. An unauthenticated, remote attacker
    can exploit this, via a specially crafted website, to
    execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4728)

  - Multiple flaws exist in WebKit due to improper state
    management. An unauthenticated, remote attacker
    can exploit this, via a specially crafted website, to
    cause a denial of service condition or the execution of
    arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-4733, CVE-2016-4765)

  - An address bar spoofing vulnerability exists due to a
    state management flaw related to sessions in tabs. An
    unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a
    specially crafted website, to spoof an address in the
    address bar. (CVE-2016-4751)

  - A flaw exists in WebKit due to improper handling of the
    location variable. An unauthenticated, remote attacker
    can exploit this, via a crafted website, to disclose
    sensitive information. (CVE-2016-4758)

  - A flaw exists in WebKit that allows an unauthenticated,
    remote attacker to conduct DNS rebinding attacks against
    non-HTTP Safari sessions by leveraging HTTP/0.9 support.
    (CVE-2016-4760)

  - A flaw exists in WebKit in the WKWebView component due
    to improper validation of X.509 certificates from HTTPS
    servers. A man-in-the-middle attacker can exploit this,
    via a crafted certificate, to disclose sensitive
    information. (CVE-2016-4763)");
