A vulnerability in Apple Mac OS X WebKit may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on an affected system.
WebKit

_WebKit is an open source web browser engine. WebKit is also the name of the Mac OS X system framework version of the engine that’s used by Safari, Dashboard, Mail, and many other OS X applications. _
The Problem
Per Apple, an attacker may be able to create a specially crafted HTML document that could cause a previously deallocated object to be accessed.
By convincing a user to view a specially crafted web page or HTML file, a remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user or crash the program that opened the malicious document.
