CVE-2010-1783: Buffer Overflow
First published: Fri Jul 30 2010(Updated: )
WebKit in Apple Safari before 5.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.6 and Windows, and before 4.1.1 on Mac OS X 10.4; and webkitgtk before 1.2.6; does not properly handle dynamic modification of a text node, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted HTML document.
