Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →The vulnerability is triggered via a crafted web page using HTMLInputElement Use-After-Free: setting input.type to an invalid value followed by accessing input.selectionStart triggers the memory corruption in WebKit. ↗
- →The crash originates in WebCore's setAttribute path when processing the selectionStart property after a type change on an HTMLInputElement — look for WebCore setAttribute calls following an input type mutation event in WebKit-based browsers. ↗
- →Exploitation is delivered via a crafted web site — network-level detection should flag malicious web content targeting WebKit-based browsers (iOS <10.3, Safari <10.1, tvOS <10.2). ↗
- ·The exploit PoC targets Apple WebKit 10.0.2 specifically; the Use-After-Free is triggered through event handlers manipulating HTMLInputElement.type and selectionStart — the primitive may behave differently across WebKit versions or sandboxed renderer configurations. ↗
- ·Debian's webkit2gtk package resolves this CVE in version 2.14.6-1 across all tracked branches; detections targeting Linux/Debian WebKitGTK should verify the installed package version. ↗

CVE-2016-9642 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.
