WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before 9.0.1 and iTunes before 12.3.1, 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-2015-10-21-3 and APPLE-SA-2015-10-21-5.

  - Add BuildRequires: hyphen-devel to pick up hyphenation     support. Note this is broken upstream.

  - Build with -DENABLE_DATABASE_PROCESS=OFF and

    -DENABLE_INDEXED_DATABASE=OFF to avoid an issue with GCC     4.8.

The version of Safari installed on the remote host is prior to 9.0.1, and is affected by multiple vulnerabilities in WebKit that are triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. With a specially crafted web page, a context-dependent attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code.

The version of Apple Safari installed on the remote host is prior to 9.0.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple memory corruption issues in WebKit due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, via a crafted website, to execute arbitrary code or possibly cause a denial of service.

The version of Apple iTunes running on the remote host is prior to 12.3.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities due to memory corruption issues in the WebKit and CoreText components. An attacker can exploit these to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues 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 12.3.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities due to memory corruption issues in the WebKit and CoreText components. An attacker can exploit these to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

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