The version of Apple Safari installed on the remote Mac OS X host is prior to 9.1.3. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability in WebKit due to a memory corruption issue. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by convincing a user to visit a malicious website, to cause a denial of service condition or execution of arbitrary code.
