WebKit, as used in Apple iTunes before 10.7, 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-2012-09-12-1.

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.

The remote Mac OS X host has Safari installed. 

Versions of Safari earlier than 6.0.1 are reportedly affected by several issues :

  - A logic error in Safari's handling of the Quarantine attribute caused the safe mode not to be triggered on Quarantined files, which could lead to the disclosure of local file contents. (CVE-2012-3713)

  - A rare condition in the handling of Form Autofill could lead to the disclosure of information from the Address Book 'Me' card that was not included in the Autofill popover. (CVE-2012-3714)

  - A logic issue in the handling of HTTPS URLs in the address bar when pasting text could result in the request being sent over HTTP. (CVE-2012-3715)

  - Numerous issues exist in WebKit. (CVE-2011-3105, CVE-2012-2817, CVE-2012-2818, CVE-2012-2829, CVE-2012-2831, CVE-2012-2842, CVE-2012-2843, CVE-2012-3598, CVE-2012-3601, CVE-2012-3602, CVE-2012-3606, CVE-2012-3607, CVE-2012-3612, CVE-2012-3613, CVE-2012-3614, CVE-2012-3616, CVE-2012-3617, CVE-2012-3621, CVE-2012-3622,CVE-2012-3623, CVE-2012-3624, CVE-2012-3632, CVE-2012-3643, CVE-2012-3647, CVE-2012-3648, CVE-2012-3649, CVE-2012-3651, CVE-2012-3652,CVE-2012-3654, CVE-2012-3657, CVE-2012-3658,CVE-2012-3659, CVE-2012-3660, CVE-2012-3671,CVE-2012-3672, CVE-2012-3673, CVE-2012-3675,CVE-2012-3676, CVE-2012-3677, CVE-2012-3684,CVE-2012-3685, CVE-2012-3687, CVE-2012-3688,CVE-2012-3692, CVE-2012-3699, CVE-2012-3700,CVE-2012-3701, CVE-2012-3702, CVE-2012-3703,CVE-2012-3704, CVE-2012-3705, CVE-2012-3706,CVE-2012-3707, CVE-2012-3708, CVE-2012-3709,CVE-2012-3710, CVE-2012-3711, CVE-2012-3712)

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.
