WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before 6.1.3 and 7.x before 7.0.3, 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-2014-04-01-1.

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: Improper handling of data types from event objects (CVE-2010-4205)

  - webkitgtk: heap-based buffer overflow (WSA-2015-0001) (CVE-2014-1303)

  - 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 involving HTML document subtrees. (CVE-2010-1761)

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 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.

  - webkitgtk: heap-based buffer overflow (WSA-2015-0001) (CVE-2014-1303)

  - webkitgtk: Processing web content may lead to arbitrary code execution (CVE-2023-40414)

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in Google Chrome before 28.0.1500.71 allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via vectors related to the handling of input.
    (CVE-2013-2871)

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

The version of Apple iTunes on the remote host is prior to version 12.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities related to the included version of WebKit. The errors could lead to application crashes or arbitrary code execution.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of Apple iTunes installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 12.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities due to the included version of WebKit. The errors could lead to application crashes or arbitrary code execution.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Versions of iTunes earlier than 12.0.1 are missing updates that patch memory corruption vulnerabilities within WebKit, as well as a patch that fixes a man-in-the-middle vulnerability that affects encrypted connections to the iTunes Store via iTunes. The most severe of these vulnerabilites can result in arbitrary remote code execution or unexpected application termination.

According to its banner, the remote Apple iOS device is missing a security update.  Versions of Apple iOS 7.x prior to 7.1.1 are exposed to the following vulnerabilities :

  - Information disclosure of user cookies in CFNetwork HTTPProtocol

  - Information disclosure of kernel pointers in IOKit Kernel

  - Potential man-in-the-middle attack via Secure Transport

  - Memory corruptions in Webkit

The following have since been patched in version 6.1.1:

  - Set-Cookie HTTP headers are processed even if the connection closed before the header was complete. An attacker could leverage this to strip security settings and obtain the HTTP cookie. (CVE-2014-1296)
  - Information disclosure due to the IOKit object storing kernel pointers, which could be used by a local attacker to defeat kernel address space layout randomization. (CVE-2014-1320)
  - A 'triple handshake' vulnerability could be leveraged by an attacker on the local network to perform a man-in-the-middle attack. (CVE-2014-1295)
  - Multiple memory corruption issues in the underlying WebKit library. (CVE-2013-2871, CVE-2014-1298, CVE-2014-1299, CVE-2014-1300, CVE-2014-1302, CVE-2014-1303, CVE-2014-1304, CVE-2014-1305, CVE-2014-1307, CVE-2014-1308, CVE-2014-1309, CVE-2014-1310, CVE-2014-1311, CVE-2014-1312, CVE-2014-1313, CVE-2014-1713)

The remote host has Safari installed that is older than 6.1.3 or 7.0.3, and is thus unpatched for the following WebKit vulnerabilities :

 - Unspecified errors exist that could allow memory corruption, application crashes and possibly arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-2871, CVE-2013-2926, CVE-2013-2928, CVE-2013-6625, CVE-2014-1289, CVE-2014-1290, CVE-2014-1291, CVE-2014-1292, CVE-2014-1293, CVE-2014-1294, CVE-2014-1298, CVE-2014-1299, CVE-2014-1300, CVE-2014-1301, CVE-2014-1302, CVE-2014-1303, CVE-2014-1304, CVE-2014-1305, CVE-2014-1307, CVE-2014-1308, CVE-2014-1309, CVE-2014-1310, CVE-2014-1311, CVE-2014-1312, CVE-2014-1313, CVE-2014-1713)
 - An error exists related to IPC messages and 'WebProcess' that could allow an attacker to read arbitrary files. (CVE-2014-1297)

The version of Apple Safari installed on the remote Mac OS X host is a version prior to 6.1.3 or 7.0.3. It is, therefore, potentially affected by the following vulnerabilities related to the included WebKit components :

  - Unspecified errors exist that could allow memory     corruption, application crashes and possibly arbitrary     code execution. (CVE-2013-2871, CVE-2013-2926,     CVE-2013-2928, CVE-2013-6625, CVE-2014-1289,     CVE-2014-1290, CVE-2014-1291, CVE-2014-1292,     CVE-2014-1293, CVE-2014-1294, CVE-2014-1298,     CVE-2014-1299, CVE-2014-1300, CVE-2014-1301,     CVE-2014-1302, CVE-2014-1303, CVE-2014-1304,     CVE-2014-1305, CVE-2014-1307, CVE-2014-1308,     CVE-2014-1309, CVE-2014-1310, CVE-2014-1311,     CVE-2014-1312, CVE-2014-1313, CVE-2014-1713)

  - An error exists related to IPC messages and 'WebProcess'     that could allow an attacker to read arbitrary files.
    (CVE-2014-1297)

The mobile device is running a version of iOS that is prior to version 7.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by vulnerabilities in the following components :

  - CFNetwork HTTPProtocol
  - IOKit Kernel
  - Secure Transport
  - WebKit
