VULNERABILITY DETAILS |
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. The specific flaw exists in the garbage collection of JavaScript document elements in WebCore. When a CSSStyleSheet object of a style element is copied, and the style element is deallocated, a reference to the ownerNode property of the copied CSSStyleSheet object will result in a heap corruption allowing for the execution of arbitrary code. |
