TYPE: Mobile & Apps

Multiple Vulnerabilities have been identified in Apple iOS, which can be exploited by malicious people to obtain sensitive information and execute arbitrary code on the affected system.

  1. A remote user can create a specially crafted FreeType font that, when loaded by the target user, will execute arbitrary code on the target user's system.
  2. A remote user can create specially crafted HTML that, when loaded by the target user, will cause libinfo to disclose potentially sensitive information via DNS name lookups.
  3. A physically local user can open an iPad 2 Smart Cover while the device is confirming power off in the locked state to bypass the authentication passcode request.
