Discussion

Webkit Floating Point Datatype Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

WebKit is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability.

Successful exploits will allow an attacker to run arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application. Failed attacks will cause denial-of-service conditions.

Versions prior to Safari 5.0.2 and Safari 4.1.2 are vulnerable.
