Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Exploit triggers via a crafted HTML page using CSS `column-span: all` combined with recursive `document.execCommand('indent')` and `window.getSelection().setBaseAndExtent()` with a null anchor node, causing a use-after-free in WebCore::RenderObject::previousSibling. ↗
- →The crash originates in WebCore::IndentOutdentCommand::indentIntoBlockquote called via execCommand('indent'), which can be monitored for abuse patterns involving null selection endpoints. ↗
- →The exploit uses a recursive JavaScript function calling execCommand('indent') inside a load event handler — look for deeply recursive or looping execCommand('indent') calls in web content. ↗
- ·The PoC is a crash/UAF trigger from Google Project Zero; it demonstrates memory corruption but does not include a full weaponized exploit payload. ↗

CVE-2017-13783 WebKitGTK+ vulnerabilities
Title: WebKitGTK+ vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in WebKitGTK+.
A large number of security issues were discovered in the WebKitGTK+ Web and
JavaScript engines. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious
website, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related to web
browser security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of service
attacks, and arbitrary code execution.
Instructions: This update uses a new upstream release, which includes additional bug
fixes. After a standard system update you need to restart any applications
that use WebKitGTK+, such as Epiphany, to make all the necessary changes.
