Mac OS X : Apple Safari < 6.1.1 / 7.0.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 71498

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host contains a web browser that is affected by several vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Apple Safari installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 6.1.1 or 7.0.1. It is, therefore, potentially affected by several issues :

 - A use-after-free error exists related to 'inline-block' rendering. (CVE-2013-2909)

 - Multiple, unspecified memory corruption vulnerabilities exist in WebKit that could lead to unexpected program termination or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2013-5195, CVE-2013-5196, CVE-2013-5197, CVE-2013-5198, CVE-2013-5199, CVE-2013-5225, CVE-2013-5228)

 - Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist due to an origin-validation error in which user information is auto-filled into a sub-frame from a different domain. (CVE-2013-5227)

Solution

For Mac OS X 10.9, upgrade to 10.9.1, which includes Apple Safari 7.0.1. Otherwise, upgrade to Apple Safari 6.1.1 or later.
