An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.3.3 is affected. Safari before 10.1.2 is affected. iCloud before 6.2.2 on Windows is affected. iTunes before 12.6.2 on Windows is affected. tvOS before 10.2.2 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.

otherWebCore::RenderObject Use-After-Free via CSS first-letter + accessibility aria-labeledby manipulation
commandCSS: text-transform:lowercase + ::first-letter{border-spacing:1em} + display:table-column-group + -webkit-appearance:menulist-button
commandaria-labeledby attribute set on dir element combined with appendChild of table row to trigger UAF
  • The UAF is triggered by combining CSS `::first-letter` pseudo-element with `display:table-column-group` and `-webkit-appearance:menulist-button` style properties on the same element, while accessibility (aria) attributes are manipulated in a DOM event handler — monitor for this combination in web content.
  • The crash originates in WebCore::RenderBlock::createFirstLetterRenderer, indicating the free occurs during first-letter renderer creation; crash telemetry or ASan reports referencing this symbol indicate exploitation attempts.
  • The freed 96-byte heap region at offset 40 (0x608000090ac8 inside [0x608000090aa0,0x608000090b00)) is characteristic of the RenderObject UAF; heap-spray or memory-tagging tooling should flag accesses to freed RenderObject allocations of this size.
  • Exploit PoC uses an event handler (onload or similar) to call go() followed by eventhandler(), which moves a table row into a link element after style mutation — detect JavaScript that dynamically reassigns table rows into non-table elements alongside ARIA attribute writes.
  • ·The vulnerability requires accessibility features to be active in WebKit for the UAF to be reachable; the title explicitly states 'with Accessibility Enabled'.
  • ·Affected products span iOS <10.3.3, Safari <10.1.2, iCloud for Windows <6.2.2, iTunes for Windows <12.6.2, and tvOS <10.2.2; detection rules should account for all WebKit-embedding surfaces, not just Safari.
