WebKit, as used in Apple iOS before 5.1 and iTunes before 10.6, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted web site, a different vulnerability than other WebKit CVEs listed in APPLE-SA-2012-03-07-1 and APPLE-SA-2012-03-07-2.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-0591 is an old WebKit memory-corruption flaw affecting Apple iOS before 5.1 and iTunes before 10.6. A malicious website could crash the application or potentially run code. Business urgency is mainly for legacy or unmanaged Apple devices/software still below those versions. Likely exposure is limited to environments retaining Apple iOS earlier than 5.1 or iTunes earlier than 10.6. Modern supported Apple environments are unlikely to be exposed, but asset inventories should verify unmanaged, kiosk, lab, or archived systems. Treat as a legacy exposure cleanup item with high impact if present. It should not distract from current KEV issues, but any still-vulnerable Apple system represents avoidable browser-driven code execution risk. Mitigation focus: Upgrade iOS systems to 5.1 or later where supported.; Upgrade iTunes installations to 10.6 or later.; Retire or isolate Apple devices unable to receive the fixed versions..
