TITLE

iPhone OS denial of service (DoS) vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

The Telephony component in Apple iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.2.1 and iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 2.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (device reset) via a crafted ICMP echo request, which triggers an assertion error related to a "logic issue.". iPhone OS from Apple contains a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability. Masaki Yoshida reported this vulnerability to IPA. JPCERT/CC coordinated with the vendor under Information Security Early Warning Partnership.A remote attacker could possibly cause a denial of service (DoS) attack by sending a specially crafted packet. Apple iPhone and iPod touch are prone to multiple vulnerabilities. Successfully exploiting these issues may allow attackers to bypass security restrictions, obtain sensitive information, or cause denial-of-service conditions. These issues affect the following: iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.2.1 iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 2.2.1 This BID is being retired. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you have VARM strategy implemented? (Vulnerability Assessment Remediation Management) If not, then implement it through the most reliable vulnerability intelligence source on the market. Implement it through Secunia. 1) Multiple vulnerabilities in CoreGraphics can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. For more information: SA32706 SA34291 SA34723 SA35074 2) An error in the handling of untrusted Exchange server certificates can lead to the disclosure of credentials or application data due to the certificate being accepted with no prompt and validation. 3) A vulnerability in ImageIO can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system. For more information: SA31558 SA32130 SA32773 7) An error in Mail can result in a phone call being initiated without user interaction if an application causes an alert during the call approval dialog. This is related to vulnerability #11 in: SA32756 8) An input validation error in the handling of MPEG-4 video files can lead to an unexpected device reset. 9) Clearing Safari's history via the Settings application can lead to disclosure of the search history. 11) Some vulnerabilities in WebKit can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks, disclose sensitive information, or to compromise a user's system. For more information: SA31326 SA35056 SA35379 12) An error in the separation of JavaScript contexts can be exploited to overwrite the "document.implementation" of an embedded or parent document served from a different security zone. 13) A type conversion error exists in the JavaScript exception handling in WebKit. This can be exploited to corrupt memory when assigning the exception to a variable that is declared as a constant and may allow execution of arbitrary code when a user visits a specially crafted web site. 14) An error in the JavaScript garbage collector implementation can potentially be exploited to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code. 15) Multiple unspecified errors in the handling of javascript objects can potentially be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks. 16) An error in WebKit can be exploited to alter standard JavaScript prototypes of websites served from a different domain. 17) An error in WebKit in the handling of HTMLSelectElement objects can be exploited to cause a device reset. 18) An error in WebKit can be exploited to load and capture an image from another website by using a canvas and a redirect. 19) An error in WebKit allows frames to be accessed by an HTML document after a page transition, which can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks. 20) An error in the handling of XMLHttpRequest headers in WebKit can be exploited to bypass the same-origin policy. 21) A Use-After-Free error exists in WebKit within the handling of the JavaScript DOM, which can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code. 22) An error in WebKit within the handling of Location and History objects can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
