Synopsis

The version of Apple iOS running on the mobile device is affected by a denial of service vulnerability.

Description

The version of Apple iOS running on the mobile device is prior to 16.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability. An input validation issue was addressed with improved input validation. Processing a maliciously crafted email message may lead to a denial-of-service.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Apple iOS version 16.0.3 or later
