Opening a maliciously crafted AAC or MP3 file may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue through improved bounds checking.

Exchange Support CVE-ID: CVE-2009-2794 Available for: iPhone OS 1.0 through 3.0.1, iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 3.0 Impact: A person with physical access to a device may be able to use it after the timeout period specified by an Exchange administrator Description: iPhone OS provides the ability to communicate via services provided by a Microsoft Exchange server. An administrator of an Exchange server has the ability to specify a "Maximum inactivity time lock" setting. This requires the user to reenter their passcode after the expiration of the inactivity time in order to use the Exchange services. iPhone OS allows a user to specify a "Require Passcode" setting that may extend up to 4 hours. The "Require Passcode" setting is not affected by the "Maximum inactivity time lock" setting. If the user has "Require Passcode" set to a value higher than the "Maximum inactivity time lock" setting, this would allow a window of time for a person with physical access to use the device, including Exchange services. This update addresses the issue by disabling user choices for "Require Passcode" values greater than the "Maximum inactivity time lock" setting. This issue only affects iPhone OS 2.0 and later, and iPhone OS for iPod touch 2.0 and later.

MobileMail CVE-ID: CVE-2009-2207 Available for: iPhone OS 1.0 through 3.0.1, iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 3.0 Impact: Deleted email messages may still be visible through a Spotlight search Description: Spotlight finds and allows access to deleted messages in Mail folders on the device. This would allow a person with access to the device to view the deleted messages. This update addresses the issue by not including the deleted email in the Spotlight search result. This issue only affects iPhone OS 3.0, iPhone OS 3.0.1, and iPhone OS for iPod touch 3.0. Credit to Clickwise Software and Tony Kavadias for reporting this issue. Recovery Mode CVE-ID: CVE-2009-2795 Available for: iPhone OS 1.0 through 3.0.1, iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 3.0 Impact: A person with physical access to a locked device may be able to access the user's data Description: A heap buffer overflow exists in Recovery Mode command parsing. This may allow another person with physical access to the device to bypass the passcode, and access the user's data. This update addresses the issue through improved bounds checking. Telephony CVE-ID: CVE-2009-2815 Available for: iPhone OS 1.0 through 3.0.1 Impact: Receiving a maliciously crafted SMS message may lead to an unexpected service interruption Description: A null pointer dereference issue exists in the handling of SMS arrival notifications.

Rice of Jump Networks Ltd for reporting this issue. WebKit CVE-ID: CVE-2009-1725 Available for: iPhone OS 1.0 through 3.0.1, iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 3.0 Impact: Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution Description: A memory corruption issue exists in WebKit's handling of numeric character references.

These could be used in a malicious website to direct the user to a spoofed site that visually appears to be a legitimate domain. This update addresses the issue by supplementing WebKit's list of known look-alike characters. Look-alike characters are rendered in Punycode in the address bar.
