CVE-2009-3272

Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—💥 Exploit

Stack consumption vulnerability in WebKit.dll in WebKit in Apple Safari 3.2.3, and possibly other versions before 4.1.2, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via JavaScript code that calls eval on a long string composed of A/ sequences.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).

💥 Public exploits

Exploit code or detection templates are publicly available. This is not the same as confirmed active exploitation (KEV), but it raises the risk: patch with priority.
