Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Apple Safari version 4.0.5
Description
The issue is related to a use-after-free vulnerability that allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. This can be achieved by creating a popup window for a crafted HTML document using
window.open, and then calling the parent window's close method. This triggers improper handling of a deleted window object.Recommendations
For Apple Safari version 4.0.5, consider disabling the use of
window.open to create popup windows for external HTML documents until a patch is available. Restrict access to potentially malicious websites to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
