Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →The vulnerability is triggered via a crafted web page using DOM manipulation: moving document.body across iframe boundaries with iframeBody.before(document.body) followed by iframe.after(toInsert), which causes a negative-size memmove in HTMLFormElement's form element registration logic. ↗
- →The crash occurs in WebCore's HTMLFormElement::registerFormElement via a negative-size memmove when a form-associated element is re-inserted across document boundaries, triggering memory corruption. Detection should focus on cross-iframe DOM node re-parenting patterns involving form elements. ↗
- →The exploit PoC uses an iframe combined with DOM insertion APIs (before/after) to trigger the vulnerability. Network-level detection should look for HTML pages containing both an iframe element and JavaScript calls to .before() and .after() on body/iframe elements in close proximity. ↗
- ·The PoC exploit targets a local/debug build of WebKit (WebKitBuild/Release) and stack traces reference internal build paths; offsets and paths are not applicable to production Apple binaries. ↗
- ·Affected versions are iOS before 10.3, Safari before 10.1, and tvOS before 10.2; Debian WebKitGTK is fixed in version 2.14.6-1. Detections should be scoped to unpatched versions of these products. ↗

WebKitGTK+ vulnerabilities

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.
