WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before 6.0, 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-2012-07-25-1.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old WebKit browser flaw affecting Apple Safari before 6.0. A user visiting a specially crafted website could suffer a browser crash or possible arbitrary code execution. The main business concern is legacy Safari/WebKit exposure, not broad modern fleet risk. Exposure is most likely limited to systems still running Safari before 6.0 or legacy Apple platforms containing that WebKit version. The source bundle lists affected vendor/product fields as n/a, so asset validation should rely on local browser and OS inventory. Treat as high impact but legacy-focused. Prioritize confirming whether any unsupported Safari/WebKit systems remain, especially on kiosks, lab machines, or unmanaged Macs. If none exist, residual urgency is low. Mitigation focus: Identify any Safari versions earlier than 6.0 in asset inventory.; Upgrade affected systems following Apple advisory guidance.; Retire unsupported Apple platforms that cannot receive browser fixes..
