Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Apple iPhone and iPod touch, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing and cross-site scripting attacks, cause a DoS (Denial of Service), bypass certain security restrictions, or compromise a user's system.

1) An error in CFNetwork can be exploited to spoof secure websites via 502 Bad Gateway errors from a malicious HTTPS proxy server.

2) A vulnerability in the handling of packets with an IPComp header can be exploited to cause a DoS.
