WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before 6.0, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted web site, a different vulnerability than other WebKit CVEs listed in APPLE-SA-2012-07-25-1.

A large number of security issues were discovered in the WebKit browser and JavaScript engines. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related to web browser security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of service attacks, and arbitrary code execution.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

According to its banner, the remote Apple iOS device is missing a security update.  Versions of Apple iOS prior to 6.0 are exposed to the following vulnerabilities :

The remote host has iTunes installed, a popular media player for Windows and Mac OS. 

Versions of iTunes earlier than 10.7 are reportedly affected by multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities in WebKit.

The version of Apple iTunes on the remote host is prior to version 10.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities in the WebKit component.

The version of Apple iTunes installed on the remote Windows host is older than 10.7 and is, therefore, affected by multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities in WebKit.

Versions of Safari earlier than 6.0 are reportedly affected by several issues :

  - An unspecified cross-site scripting issue exists. (CVE-2012-0678)

  - An error in the handling of 'feed://' URLs can allow local files to be disclosed to remote servers. (CVE-2012-0679)

  - Password input elements are auto completed even when a webpage specifically forbids it. (CVE-2012-0680)
