VAR-200604-0537
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:39Apple Mac OS X Safari 2.0.3, 1.3.1, and possibly other versions allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and crash) via a TD element with a large number in the rowspan attribute. Apple Mac OS X of Safari There is a service disruption (DoS) There are vulnerabilities that are put into a state.Service disruption by a third party (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. Apple Safari web browser is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to consume excessive system resources and eventually crash an affected browser. Safari opening malicious HTML files may cause the operating system to slow down SRCOD (Spinning Rainbow Cursor Of Death), so that no application can be launched to kill the process. Safari will crash after a few minutes.
TITLE: Safari "rowspan" Attribute Denial of Service Vulnerability
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA19763
VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/19763/
CRITICAL: Not critical
IMPACT: DoS
WHERE:
From remote
SOFTWARE: Safari 1.x http://secunia.com/product/1543/ Safari 2.x http://secunia.com/product/5289/
DESCRIPTION: Yannick von Arx has discovered a vulnerability in Safari, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the processing of "td" HTML tags with overly large values for the "rowspan" attribute. This can be exploited to consume a large amount of CPU and memory resources on a vulnerable system by tricking a user into visiting a malicious web site.
Successful exploitation causes a vulnerable system to become unresponsive.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.0.3 (417.9.2) and has also been reported in version 1.3.1 (312.3.1). Other versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION: Do not visit untrusted web sites while working with unsaved sensitive information.
