iPhone v2.0 and iPod touch v2.0
CFNetwork
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-0050
Available for: iPhone v1.0 through v1.1.4, iPod touch v1.1 through v1.1.4
Impact: A malicious proxy server may spoof secure websites
Description: A malicious HTTPS proxy server may return arbitrary data to CFNetwork in a 502 Bad Gateway error, which could allow a secure website to be spoofed. This update addresses the issue by not returning the proxy-supplied data on an error condition.
Kernel
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-0177
Available for: iPhone v1.0 through v1.1.4, iPod touch v1.1 through v1.1.4
Impact: A remote attacker may be able to cause an unexpected device reset
Description: An undetected failure condition exists in the handling of packets with an IPComp header. Sending a maliciously crafted packet to a system configured to use IPSec or IPv6 may cause an unexpected device reset. This update addresses the issue by properly detecting the failure condition.
Safari
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-1588
Available for: iPhone v1.0 through v1.1.4, iPod touch v1.1 through v1.1.4
Impact: Unicode ideographic spaces may be used to spoof a website
Description: When Safari displays the current URL in the address bar, Unicode ideographic spaces are rendered. This allows a maliciously crafted website to direct the user to a spoofed site that visually appears to be a legitimate domain. This update addresses the issue by not rendering Unicode ideographic spaces in the address bar.
Safari
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-1589
Available for: iPhone v1.0 through v1.1.4, iPod touch v1.1 through v1.1.4
Impact: Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to the disclosure of sensitive information
Description: When Safari accesses a website that uses a self-signed or invalid certificate, it prompts the user to accept or reject the certificate. If the user presses the menu button while at the prompt, then on the next visit to the site, the certificate is accepted with no prompt. This may lead to the disclosure of sensitive information. This update addresses the issue through improved handling of certificates. Credit to Hiromitsu Takagi for reporting this issue.
Safari
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-2303
Available for: iPhone v1.0 through v1.1.4, iPod touch v1.1 through v1.1.4
Impact: Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution
Description: A signedness issue in Safari's handling of JavaScript array indices may result in an out-of-bounds memory access. Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue by performing additional validation of JavaScript array indices. Credit to SkyLined of Google for reporting this issue.
Safari
CVE-ID: CVE-2006-2783
Available for: iPhone v1.0 through v1.1.4, iPod touch v1.1 through v1.1.4
Impact: Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to cross-site scripting
Description: Safari ignores Unicode byte order mark sequences when parsing web pages. Certain websites and web content filters attempt to sanitize input by blocking specific HTML tags. This approach to filtering may be bypassed and lead to cross-site scripting when encountering maliciously-crafted HTML tags containing byte order mark sequences. This update addresses the issue through improved handling of byte order mark sequences. Credit to Chris Weber of Casaba Security, LLC for reporting this issue.

CVE-ID: CVE-2008-2307
Available for: iPhone v1.0 through v1.1.4, iPod touch v1.1 through v1.1.4
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 JavaScript arrays. Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue through improved bounds checking.

Safari
CVE-ID: CVE-2008-2317
Available for: iPhone v1.0 through v1.1.4, iPod touch v1.1 through v1.1.4
Impact: Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution
Description: A memory corruption issue exists in WebCore's handling of style sheet elements. Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue through improved garbage collection.

CVE-ID: CVE-2008-1767
Available for: iPhone v1.0 through v1.1.4, iPod touch v1.1 through v1.1.4
Impact: Processing an XML document may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution
