Description

A code execution vulnerability has been reported in Apple Safari. The vulnerability is due to a use-after-free error when processing selections. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by enticing a target user to open a maliciously crafted web page. In attack scenarios where code execution is successful the behavior of the target machine would depend entirely on the intention of the injected code, which would run within the security context of the logged on user. In situations where code execution is not successful, the vulnerable application may terminate abnormally.
