Ampidire Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306173 About the security content of iPhone v1.0.1 Update This document describes the security content of iPhone v1.0.1 Update, which can be downloaded and installed via iTunes as described below. For the protection of our customers, Apple does not disclose, discuss, or confirm security issues until a full investigation has occurred and any necessary patches or releases are available. To learn more about Apple Product Security, see the Apple Product Security website. For information about the Apple Product Security PGP Key, see "How to use the Apple Product Security PGP Key." Where possible, CVE IDs are used to reference the vulnerabilities for further information. To learn about other Security Updates, see "Apple Security Updates." iPhone v1.0.1 Update * Safari CVE-ID: CVE-2007-2400 Available for: iPhone v1.0 Impact: Visiting a malicious website may allow cross-site scripting Description: Safari's security model prevents JavaScript in remote web pages from modifying pages outside of their domain. A race condition in page updating combined with HTTP redirection may allow JavaScript from one page to modify a redirected page. This could allow cookies and pages to be read or arbitrarily modified. This update addresses the issue by correcting access control to window properties.

By enticing a user to visit a maliciously crafted web page, an attacker may trigger the issue, which may lead to arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue by performing additional validation of JavaScript regular expressions.

These could be used in a malicious web site to direct the user to a spoofed site that visually appears to be a legitimate domain. This update addresses the issue by through an improved domain name validity check. * WebKit CVE-ID: CVE-2007-2399 Available for: iPhone v1.0 Impact: Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution Description: An invalid type conversion when rendering frame sets could lead to memory corruption.
