Description

WebKit contains an integer overflow condition in the 'StyleElement::process' function [WebCore/dom/StyleElement.cpp] that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling style elements. With a specially crafted web page, a context-dependent attacker can cause a buffer overflow, allowing execution of arbitrary code.
