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.

Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote

  • Vulnerability is in WebKit's ArgumentsEliminationPhase::transform — specifically incorrect LoadVarargs handling where the node is removed regardless of whether the argumentCountIncludingThis limit condition is satisfied, leading to uninitialized values/length in the arguments object (CreateDirectArguments).
  • PoC triggers the bug by JIT-compiling a function that calls a class constructor with a large spread of arguments (kArgsLength = 0x101 = 257 args) and checks for a corrupted arguments object length after ~0x3000 iterations with a 1-second sleep to allow JIT optimization.
  • Exploitation vector is processing maliciously crafted web content via a crafted web site — remote, no user interaction beyond visiting the page.
  • Affected component is WebKit across 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 should focus on unpatched WebKit versions in these products.
  • ·The PoC uses a loop count of 0x100000 iterations with a deliberate 1-second sleep at iteration 0x3000 to trigger JIT compilation; exploitation reliability depends on JIT tier-up behavior which may vary across WebKit builds/platforms.
  • ·The vulnerability results in uninitialized memory values and length in the arguments object — actual code execution requires a further exploitation primitive beyond the memory corruption primitive demonstrated in the PoC.
