An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 11.1 is affected. Safari before 11.0.1 is affected. iCloud before 7.1 on Windows is affected. iTunes before 12.7.1 on Windows is affected. tvOS before 11.1 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.

  • The exploit triggers a use-after-free in WebCore::DocumentLoader::frameLoader() by combining iframe navigation to a data: URL with a form submission and window.onbeforeunload handler that appends a DOM element, causing the FrameLoader to be accessed after being freed.
  • The use-after-free crash occurs specifically in WebCore::DocumentLoader::frameLoader() const — monitor for WebKit/Safari crashes with this function in the stack trace as a sign of exploitation attempts.
  • The freed memory originates from WebCore::ResourceLoader::releaseResources() via WTF::RefPtr::operator=(std::nullptr_t) — the object is freed during cancelMainResourceLoad then accessed in the subsequent frameLoader() call.
  • Exploitation vector is processing maliciously crafted web content; look for Safari/WebKit process crashes (com.apple.WebKit.WebContent) combined with data: URL iframe navigations and form submissions in web logs or browser telemetry.
  • ·The exploit PoC was developed and tested against a local debug build of WebKit (WebKitBuild/Release), not a shipping binary; offsets and stack frames will differ in production Apple binaries.
  • ·Affected versions span multiple Apple products; patched versions are iOS 11.1, Safari 11.0.1, iCloud for Windows 7.1, iTunes 12.7.1 for Windows, and tvOS 11.1 — detections should account for all these surfaces.
