An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.3.3 is affected. Safari before 10.1.2 is affected. iCloud before 6.2.2 on Windows is affected. iTunes before 12.6.2 on Windows is affected. tvOS before 10.2.2 is affected. The issue involves the "WebKit" component. It allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted web site.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2017-7049 is an Apple WebKit memory corruption flaw. A malicious website could crash affected Apple software or potentially run code. It affects older iOS, Safari, tvOS, iCloud for Windows, and iTunes for Windows versions fixed in Apple’s July 2017 updates.

Executive priority

Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless old Apple or Apple-for-Windows software remains in use. Prioritize any affected internet-browsing endpoints because exploitation can be triggered by crafted web content.

Technical view

The issue is in WebKit and is triggered through crafted web content. The CVE description states remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service through memory corruption. No CVSS or CWE detail is provided in the source bundle.

Likely exposure

Exposure is mainly legacy Apple endpoints or Windows hosts still running the listed pre-fix versions. Modern, fully updated Apple platforms should not be assumed affected from these sources.

Exploitation context

The source bundle includes an Exploit-DB reference, so public exploit material exists. CISA KEV is false in the bundle, and no cited source here establishes active exploitation in the wild.

Researcher notes

Do not infer affected products beyond the CVE description. The source bundle lacks CVSS, CWE, root-cause detail, and active exploitation evidence. The strongest facts are WebKit involvement, memory corruption, remote web trigger, affected version thresholds, and public Exploit-DB reference.

Mitigation direction

  • Upgrade iOS to 10.3.3 or later where supported.
  • Upgrade Safari to 10.1.2 or later where supported.
  • Upgrade iCloud for Windows to 6.2.2 or later.
  • Upgrade iTunes for Windows to 12.6.2 or later.
  • Upgrade tvOS to 10.2.2 or later.
  • Check Apple advisories for platform-specific guidance.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Apple and Windows hosts for the affected product versions.
  • Confirm fixed versions are installed on managed endpoints.
  • Identify unsupported devices that cannot receive the listed updates.
  • Review browser crash or web-content alerts for suspicious activity.
  • Verify exposure assumptions against Apple’s linked security advisories.
