CVE-2010-1119

53
FAUCET Score

CVE-2010-1119 describes a critical use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit, impacting Apple Safari on Mac OS X and Windows, as well as Safari on Apple iPhone OS. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code, cause application crashes, or access sensitive data like the SMS database through attribute manipulation. With a CVSS score of 10.0, it presents a severe risk due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, an ExploitDB entry exists for a similar WebKit use-after-free on Google Android, and the vulnerability garnered significant attention during the Pwn2Own 2010 competition.
