  Description: An input validation issue exists in the iPhone's Bluetooth server. By sending maliciously-crafted Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) packets to an iPhone with Bluetooth enabled, an attacker may trigger the issue, which may lead to unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue by performing additional validation of SDP packets. Credit to Kevin Mahaffey and John Hering of Flexilis Mobile Security for reporting this issue.

• Mail

  CVE-ID: CVE-2007-3754

  Impact: Checking email over untrusted networks may lead to information disclosure via a man-in-the-middle attack

  Description: When Mail is configured to use SSL for incoming and outgoing connections, it does not warn the user when the identity of the mail server has changed or cannot be trusted. An attacker capable of intercepting the connection may be able to impersonate the user's mail server and obtain the user's email credentials or other sensitive information. This update addresses the issue by properly warning when the identity of the remote mail server has changed.

• Mail

  CVE-ID: CVE-2007-3755

  Impact: Following a telephone ("tel:") link in Mail will dial a phone number without confirmation

  Description: Mail supports telephone ("tel:") links to dial phone numbers.

This update addresses the issue by providing a confirmation window before dialing a phone number via a telephone link in Mail. Credit to Andi Baritchi of McAfee for reporting this issue.

• Safari

  CVE-ID: CVE-2007-3756

  Impact: Visiting a malicious website may lead to the disclosure of URL contents

  Description: A design issue in Safari allows a web page to read the URL that is currently being viewed in its parent window. By enticing a user to visit a maliciously crafted web page, an attacker may be able to obtain the URL of an unrelated page. This update addresses the issue through an improved cross-domain security check. Credit to Michal Zalewski of Google Inc. and Secunia Research for reporting this issue.

• Safari

  CVE-ID: CVE-2007-3757

  Impact: Visiting a malicious website may lead to unintended dialing or dialing a different number than expected

  Description: Safari supports telephone ("tel:") links to dial phone numbers. When a telephone link is selected, Safari will confirm that the number should be dialed. A maliciously crafted telephone link may cause a different number to be displayed during confirmation than the one actually dialed. Exiting Safari during the confirmation process may result in unintentional confirmation. This update addresses the issue by properly displaying the number that will be dialed, and requiring confirmation for telephone links.

  CVE-ID: CVE-2007-3758

  Impact: Visiting a malicious website may lead to cross-site scripting

  Description: A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in Safari that allows malicious websites to set JavaScript window properties of websites served from a different domain. By enticing a user to visit a maliciously crafted website, an attacker can trigger the issue, resulting in getting or setting the window status and location of pages served from other websites. This update addresses the issue by providing improved access controls on these properties. Credit to Michal Zalewski of Google Inc. for reporting this issue.

• Safari

  CVE-ID: CVE-2007-3759

  Impact: Disabling JavaScript does not take effect until Safari is restarted

  Description: Safari can be configured to enable or disable JavaScript. This preference does not take effect until the next time Safari is restarted. This usually occurs when the iPhone is restarted. This may mislead users into believing that JavaScript is disabled when it is not. This update addresses the issue by applying the new preference prior to loading new web pages.

• Safari

  CVE-ID: CVE-2007-3760

  Impact: Visiting a malicious website may result in cross-site scripting

  Description: A cross-site scripting issue in Safari allows a maliciously crafted website to bypass the same-origin policy using "frame" tags. By enticing a user to visit a maliciously crafted web page, an attacker can trigger the issue, which may lead to the execution of JavaScript in the context of another site. This update addresses the issue by disallowing JavaScript as an "iframe" source, and limiting JavaScript in frame tags to the same access as the site from which it was served. Credit to Michal Zalewski of Google Inc. and Secunia Research for reporting this issue.

• Safari

  CVE-ID: CVE-2007-3761

  Impact: Visiting a malicious website may result in cross-site scripting

  Description: A cross-site scripting issue in Safari allows JavaScript events to be associated with the wrong frame.
