CVE-2006-1988: Apple Safari

Medium severity, CVSS 5.0. EPSS: 1.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The WebTextRenderer(WebInternal) _CG_drawRun:style:geometry: function in Apple Safari 2.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via an HTML LI tag with a large VALUE attribute (list item number), which triggers a null dereference in QPainter::drawText, probably due to a failed memory allocation that uses the VALUE.

Affected products

• Apple Safari: version 2.0 only; version 2.0.1 only; version 2.0.2 only; version 2.0.3 only
