VAR-200611-0426

Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-10 23:13

Buffer overflow in the JavaScript implementation in Safari on Apple Mac OS X 10.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long argument to the exec method of a regular expression. Apple Safari web browser is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability when executing certain JavaScript code. An attacker can exploit this issue to crash an affected browser. Presumably, this issue may also result in remote code execution, but this has not been confirmed. Apple Safari 2.0.4 is vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected. There is a vulnerability in Apple Safari's processing of very long regular expression matching strings. Remote attackers may use this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands on the user's machine. If a Safari user is tricked into visiting a site that contains malicious JavaScript, a vulnerability in regular expression processing could be triggered, causing the browser to crash or execute arbitrary commands
