A use-after-free issue was addressed with improved memory management. This issue is fixed in iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4, macOS Ventura 13.3. Processing web content may lead to arbitrary code execution.
A logic issue was addressed with improved validation. This issue is fixed in tvOS 17.4, macOS Sonoma 14.4, visionOS 1.1, iOS 17.4 and iPadOS 17.4, watchOS 10.4, iOS 16.7.6 and iPadOS 16.7.6, Safari 17.4.

An attacker with arbitrary read and write capability may be able to bypass Pointer Authentication. Description: The issue was addressed with improved checks. WebKit Bugzilla: 272750
Versions affected: WebKitGTK and WPE WebKit before 2.44.2.
embed/ephy-web-view.c in GNOME Web (aka Epiphany) through 3.31.4 allows address bar spoofing because a page load triggered by JavaScript leads to updating an address as if it were triggered by a safer visit type (e.g., VISITLINK, VISITTYPED, VISITBOOKMARK, or VISITHOMEPAGE).
Upstream issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/issues/532
An inconsistent user interface issue was addressed with improved state management. This issue is fixed in iOS 16.7.2 and iPadOS 16.7.2, iOS 17.1 and iPadOS 17.1, Safari 17.1, macOS Sonoma 14.1. Visiting a malicious website may lead to address bar spoofing.

Processing maliciously crafted web content may prevent Content Security Policy from being enforced.
A logic issue was addressed with improved validation. This issue is fixed in macOS Ventura 13.3. Content Security Policy to block domains with wildcards may fail.
BubblewrapLauncher.cpp in WebKitGTK and WPE WebKit before 2.34.1 allows a limited sandbox bypass that allows a sandboxed process to trick host processes into thinking the sandboxed process is not confined by the sandbox, by abusing VFS syscalls that manipulate its filesystem namespace. The impact is limited to host services that create UNIX sockets that WebKit mounts inside its sandbox, and the sandboxed process remains otherwise confined. NOTE: this is similar to CVE-2021-41133.
