This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Webkit as utilized by either Apple Safari, or Googleโ€™s Chrome browser. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within how the library handles implicitly defined styles. When processing a specific case for a style, the application will dispatch an event. During this dispatch, code can be executed that can be used to manipulate the DOM tree causing a type-switch. This type-switch can lead to code execution under the context of the application.
