CVE-2009-2207

TITLE

Apple iPhone OS of MobileMail Vulnerabilities that can capture important information in components

DESCRIPTION

The MobileMail component in Apple iPhone OS 3.0 and 3.0.1, and iPhone OS 3.0 for iPod touch, lists deleted e-mail messages in Spotlight search results, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive information by reading these messages. Apple iPhone and iPod touch are prone to an access-validation vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to bypass certain security restrictions to obtain sensitive information that may lead to further attacks. This issue was previously covered in BID 36326 (Apple iPhone prior to 3.1 and iPod touch Prior to 3.1.1 Multiple Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it. iPhone OS 1.0 through 3.0.1 iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 3.0. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you have VARM strategy implemented?

This may lead to a time window, regardless of the Maximum inactivity time lock" setting, in which a person with physical access to the device is able to use the Exchange services. 3) A security issue exists in MobileMail due to deleted mails being accessible via Spotlight search. This can be exploited by malicious people with physical access to the device to disclose potentially sensitive information. 4) An unspecified error exists in the Recovery Mode command parsing. This can be exploited by a person with physical access to a device to cause a heap-based buffer overflow and e.g. gain access to a locked device. 5) A NULL pointer dereference error within the handling of SMS arrival notifications can be exploited to cause a service interruption. 6) An error in the handling of passwords in UIKit can be exploited by a person with physical access to a device to disclose a password. 7) Safari includes the user name and password in the "Referer" header, which can lead to the exposure of sensitive information. 8) Two vulnerabilities in WebKit can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks or potentially compromise a user's system. For more information: SA35758 9) A vulnerability in WebKit can be exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks.
