Use-after-free vulnerability in page/Geolocation.cpp in WebCore in WebKit before r59859, as used in Google Chrome before 5.0.375.70, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted web site, related to failure to stop timers associated with geolocation upon deletion of a document.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - WebKit: use-after-free vulnerability in handling of attribute manipulation (CVE-2010-1119)

  - WebKit: off-by-one memory read out of bounds vulnerability in handling of HTML lists (CVE-2010-1773)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit in Apple Safari before 5.0 on Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.6 and     Windows, and before 4.1 on Mac OS X 10.4, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a     denial of service (application crash) via vectors related to the contentEditable attribute and removing     container elements. (CVE-2010-1396)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

Various bugs in webkit have been fixed. The CVE id's are :
