Discussion

WebKit DOM Event Handler Remote Memory Corruption Vulnerability

WebKit is prone to a remote memory-corruption vulnerability.

An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.

NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 35260 (Apple Safari Prior to 4.0 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been assigned its own record to better document it.
