Description

WebKit in Apple iOS before 9.3 and Safari before 9.1 does not properly restrict redirects that specify a TCP port number, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended port restrictions via a crafted web site.

Solution(s)

  • apple-safari-upgrade-9_1
  • apple-safari-windows-uninstall
