Discussion

WebKit 'Text' Objects Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

WebKit is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability.

Attackers can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user into visiting a malicious webpage.

Successful attacks will allow attackers to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition.

NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 44938 (Apple Safari Prior to 5.0.3 and 4.1.3 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it.
