WebKit CVE-2011-0253 Memory Corruption Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

WebKit is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability due to memory-corruption.

Attackers can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user into visiting a malicious webpage. Successful attacks will result in arbitrary code execution; failed attacks may cause denial-of-service conditions.

NOTE: This issue was previously discussed in 48808 (Apple Safari Prior to 5.1 and 5.0.6 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it.
