Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Apple iPod touch, which can be exploited by malicious applications to bypass certain security features and by malicious people to poison the DNS cache, spoof TCP connections, or potentially compromise a user's device.

1) An error in the application sandbox causes it to not properly enforce access restrictions between third-party applications. This can be exploited by one application to read another application's files.

2) Multiple errors exist in the included version of FreeType, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to execute arbitrary code when accessing specially crafted font data.

For more information:
SA30600

3) mDNSResponder does not provide sufficient randomization, which can be exploited to poison the DNS cache.

For more information:
SA30973

4) Generation of predictable TCP initial sequence numbers can be exploited to spoof TCP connections or hijack sessions.

5) A use-after-free error in WebKit when handling CSS import statements can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted website.
