Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →The vulnerability is triggered via a crafted web page that manipulates form submission with autofocus and DOM manipulation to cause a use-after-free in WebKit's FormSubmission::create / HTMLFormElement::submit code path. Detection should focus on WebKit crashes or memory corruption originating from HTMLFormElement::submit or FormSubmission::create. ↗
- →The exploit PoC uses JavaScript to set input.autofocus=true, append an input element to a form's output, and call form.submit() inside a load event handler — monitor for suspicious JS patterns combining autofocus assignment, dynamic DOM appendChild, and programmatic form.submit() calls. ↗
- ·Affected versions are iOS before 10.3, Safari before 10.1, and tvOS before 10.2. The Debian WebKitGTK fix is in version 2.14.6-1. Ensure patched versions are deployed before relying solely on detection. ↗

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.
