WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0, iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.2.1, and iPhone
OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 2.2.1 does not properly handle constant (aka
const) declarations in a type-conversion operation during JavaScript
exception handling, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code
or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via
a crafted HTML document.
