Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0.2, as used on iPhone OS before 3.1, iPhone OS before 3.1.1 for iPod touch, and other platforms, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors related to parent and top objects.

Various bugs in webkit have been fixed. The CVE id's are :

The remote mobile host is a using a version of Apple iOS earlier than 3.1. Such versions are potentially affected by multiple issues: 

  - An issue in WebKit's handling of the parent and top objects could result in cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2009-1724)

  - A memory corruption issue in WebKits's handling of numeric character references. (CVE-2009-1725)

  - The International Domain Name support and Unicode fonts embedded in Safari could be used to create a URL which contains look-alike characters. (CVE-2009-2199)

  - A heap buffer overflow exists in the handling of AAC or MP3 files. (CVE-2009-2206)

  - Spotlight finds and allows access to deleted messages in Mail folders on the device. (CVE-2009-2207)

  - The iPhone OS allows users to specify a 'Require Passcode' setting that may be greater than the 'Maximum Inactivity time lock' setting from Microsoft Exchange servers. (CVE-2009-2794)

  - A heap buffer overflow exists in Recovery Mode command parsing. (CVE-2009-2795)

  - When a character in a password is deleted, and the deletion is undone, the character is briefly made visible. (CVE-2009-2796)

  - Safari includes the user name and password from the original URL in the referer header. (CVE-2009-2797)

  - A null pointer dereference issue exists in the handling of SMS arrival notifications. (CVE-2009-2815)

The version of Apple Safari installed on the remote Mac OS X host is earlier than 4.0.2 As such, it is potentially affected by two issues :

  - A vulnerability in WebKit's handling of parent and top     objects may allow for cross-site scripting attacks.
    (CVE-2009-1724)

  - A memory corruption issue in WebKit's handling of     numeric character references could lead to a crash or     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2009-1725)

The version of Safari installed on the remote Windows host is earlier than 4.0.2.  Such versions are potentially affected by two issues :

  - A vulnerability in WebKit's handling of parent and top     objects may allow for cross-site scripting attacks.
    (CVE-2009-1724)

  - A memory corruption issue in WebKit's handling of     numeric character references could lead to a crash or     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2009-1725)
