MetricsAV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Safari versions prior to 9.0.3 iOS versions prior to 9.2.1

Description The issue is related to the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) implementation, which mishandles the a:visited button selector during height processing. This makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain sensitive browser-history information via a crafted web site. The vulnerability is associated with a lack of protection for internal data, allowing a remote attacker to access browser history using a specially formed web site.

Recommendations For Safari versions prior to 9.0.3, update to version 9.0.3 or later. For iOS versions prior to 9.2.1, update to version 9.2.1 or later.
