Synopsis

The version of Apple iOS running on the mobile device is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Apple iOS running on the mobile device is prior to 10.3.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - Multiple memory corruption issues exist in the WebKit component due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these issues, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to execute arbitrary code.
 (CVE-2017-2496, CVE-2017-2505, CVE-2017-2506, CVE-2017-2514, CVE-2017-2515, CVE-2017-2521, CVE-2017-2525, CVE-2017-2526, CVE-2017-2530, CVE-2017-2531, CVE-2017-2538, CVE-2017-2539, CVE-2017-2544, CVE-2017-2547, CVE-2017-6980, CVE-2017-6984)

 - A security bypass vulnerability exists in the Security component in the certificate trust policy. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause untrusted certificates to be treated at trusted.
 (CVE-2017-2498)

 - A memory corruption issue exists in the WebKit Web Inspector component that allows an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.
 (CVE-2017-2499)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the Safari component in the history menu functionality. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-2495)

 - A state management flaw exists in the iBooks component due to improper handling of URLs. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted book, to open arbitrary websites without user permission. (CVE-2017-2497)

 - A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Kernel component due to a race condition. A local attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges. (CVE-2017-2501)

 - An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the CoreAudio component due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input. A local attacker can exploit this to read the contents of restricted memory.
 (CVE-2017-2502)

 - Multiple universal cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities exist in WebKit due to improper handling of WebKit Editor commands, container nodes, pageshow events, frame loading, and cached frames. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted web page, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session. (CVE-2017-2504, CVE-2017-2508, CVE-2017-2510, CVE-2017-2528, CVE-2017-2549)

 - Multiple information disclosure vulnerabilities exist in the Kernel component due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input. A local attacker can exploit these to read the contents of restricted memory.
 (CVE-2017-2507, CVE-2017-6987)

 - A use-after-free error exists in the SQLite component when handling SQL queries. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to deference already freed memory, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
 (CVE-2017-2513)

 - Multiple buffer overflow conditions exist in the SQLite component due to the improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, via a specially crafted SQL query, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2518, CVE-2017-2520)

 - A memory corruption issue exists in the SQLite component when handling SQL queries. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted SQL query, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2519)

 - An unspecified memory corruption issue exists in the TextInput component when parsing specially crafted data.
 An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-2524)

 - Multiple unspecified flaws exist in WebKit that allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code by using specially crafted web content. (CVE-2017-2536)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the IOSurface component that allows a local attacker to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges.
 (CVE-2017-6979)

 - A logic error exists in the iBooks component due to improper path validation for symlinks. A local attacker can exploit this to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. (CVE-2017-6981)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the Notifications component that allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service condition via a specially crafted application. (CVE-2017-6982)

 - Multiple memory corruption issues exist in SQLite due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to execute arbitrary code.
 (CVE-2017-6983, CVE-2017-6991)

 - An unspecified flaw exists in the AVEVideoEncoder component that allows a local attacker, via a specially crafted application, to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code with kernel-level privileges.
 (CVE-2017-6989)

 - Multiple type confusion flaws exist in SQLite due to improper validation of user-supplied input to 'snippet', 'offsets', and 'matchinfo'. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these, by convincing a user to visit a specially crafted website, to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7000, CVE-2017-7001, CVE-2017-7002)

 - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the CoreText component due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted file, to crash an application. (CVE-2017-7003)

 - A race condition exists when performing userspace entitlement checks. A local attacker can exploit this to bypass restrictions and send privileged XPC messages without entitlements. (CVE-2017-7004)

 - A memory corruption issue exists in the JavaScriptCore component due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted web content, to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-7005)

Solution
