Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
WebKit, as used in Apple iOS before 7.1.2, Apple Safari before 6.1.5 and 7.x before 7.0.5, and Apple TV before 6.1.2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted web site, a different vulnerability than other WebKit CVEs listed in APPLE-SA-2014-06-30-1, APPLE-SA-2014-06-30-3, and APPLE-SA-2014-06-30-4.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

Memory corruption vulnerability in WebKit allowing remote code execution or denial of service via malicious web page. Exploits occur when processing crafted web content, causing memory corruption that can be leveraged for arbitrary code execution.

MitigationApply vendor patches: update iOS to 7.1.2+, Safari to 6.1.5+/7.0.5+, or Apple TV to 6.1.2+ to remediate the vulnerability.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify the Apple product using WebKit
    Determine whether the system runs Safari on macOS, iOS Safari on iPhone/iPad, or the built-in browser on Apple TV. This vulnerability affects WebKit across all three platforms.
    Affected if The device runs Safari, iOS, or Apple TV
  2. Check Safari version on macOS
    Open Safari, click Safari in the menu bar, then select About Safari. The version number appears in the window. Alternatively, run 'safariVersion' in Terminal or check /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info.plist for CFBundleShortVersionString.
    Affected if Safari version is 6.0 to 6.1.4 inclusive, or 7.0 to 7.0.4 inclusive
  3. Check iOS version on iPhone or iPad
    Open Settings app, tap General, then tap About. Look for the Version field which displays the iOS build version (for example, 7.1 or 7.1.1).
    Affected if iOS version is 7.0 to 7.1.1 inclusive
  4. Check Apple TV version
    On Apple TV, go to Settings > General > About. The version number is displayed next to 'Version'. For older Apple TVs, this may be in Settings > General > Version.
    Affected if Apple TV version is 6.0 to 6.1.1 inclusive
  5. Confirm WebKit is the rendering engine
    This vulnerability is in WebKit, which is the default rendering engine for Safari and mobile Safari. No additional configuration check is needed, as WebKit is enabled by default in these browsers.
    Affected if Using Safari, mobile Safari, or the Apple TV browser as the default web browser

The system is affected if Safari version is 6.0-6.1.4 or 7.0-7.0.4, iOS version is 7.0-7.1.1, or Apple TV version is 6.0-6.1.1, since these all contain the vulnerable WebKit component.
