CVE-2009-1686

Publication date 10 June 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0, iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.2.1, and iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 2.2.1 does not properly handle constant (aka const) declarations in a type-conversion operation during JavaScript exception handling, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted HTML document.

webkit is a fork of khtml from kdelibs. kdelibs5 is farther from it, while qt4-x11 attempts to unify khtml and webkit

mdeslaur
