WebKit in Apple iOS before 9.3.3, Safari before 9.1.2, and tvOS before 9.2.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted web site, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-4589, CVE-2016-4622, and CVE-2016-4623.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3079-1 advisory.

    A large number of security issues were discovered in the WebKitGTK+ Web 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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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 Safari installed on the remote host is prior or equal to 9.1.1, and is affected by multiple vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are contained within the Webkit subcomponent.

This update addresses the following vulnerabilities :

  -     [CVE-2016-4622](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cg     i?name=CVE-2016-4622),     [CVE-2016-4624](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cg     i?name=CVE-2016-4624),     [CVE-2016-4591](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cg     i?name=CVE-2016-4591),     [CVE-2016-4590](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cg     i?name=CVE-2016-4590)

Additional fixes :

  - Fix performance in accelerated compositing mode with the     modesetting intel driver and DRI3 enabled.

  - Reduce the amount of file descriptors that the Web     Process keeps open.

  - Fix a crash at process exit under Wayland.

  - Fix several crashes and rendering issues.

Translation updates :

  - German.

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