The VUPEN Vulnerability Research Team discovered a critical vulnerability in Apple Safari. The vulnerability is caused by a use-after-free error in the WebKit library when processing certain text nodes, which could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page.

And Android security hits the news once again, it’s not a vulnerability in the OS per-say but rather in the browser based on the Webkit engine. It does highlight the inherent fragmentation problems with the Android platform and the security concerns that come with running old OS and software versions.
