Description Vincent Danen 2010-05-26 19:30:28 UTC

A memory corruption issue exists in WebKit's rendering of CSS-styled HTML content with multiple :after pseudo-selectors. Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This issue is addressed through improved rendering of HTML content.
