TITLE

Apple iPhone OS Recovery mode component buffer overflow vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Recovery Mode component in Apple iPhone OS before 3.1, and iPhone OS before 3.1.1 for iPod touch, allows local users to bypass the passcode requirement and access arbitrary data via vectors related to "command parsing.". Apple iPhone and iPod touch are prone to a heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue to bypass the required passcode and gain access to sensitive information. This issue affects the following products: iPhone OS 1.0 through 3.0.1 iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 3.0 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. Disclosing sensitive information or completely hacking a user's system. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. 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.
