Discussion

WebKit CVE-2011-0116 'setOuterText()' Method Memory Corruption Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

WebKit is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability.

An attacker can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user into visiting a malicious webpage with a vulnerable application.

Successful exploits will allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected browser or cause denial-of-service conditions; other attacks may also be possible.

NOTE: This issue was previously discussed in BID 46654 (WebKit Multiple Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it.
