Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Apple iOS up to 7.1 (Smartphone Operating System). It has been declared as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is some unknown functionality of the component WebKit. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. As an impact it is known to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before 6.1.3 and 7.x before 7.0.3, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted web site, a different vulnerability than other WebKit CVEs listed in APPLE-SA-2014-04-01-1.

The weakness was disclosed 04/22/2014 by Cloudfuzzer as HT6208 as confirmed advisory (Website). The advisory is shared at support.apple.com. The public release has been coordinated in cooperation with Apple. This vulnerability is known as CVE-2014-1309 since 01/08/2014. The exploitation appears to be difficult. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploitation doesn't need any form of authentication. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $5k-$25k at the moment (estimation calculated on 12/26/2024). It is expected to see the exploit prices for this product increasing in the near future. The advisory points out:

Multiple memory corruption issues existed in WebKit.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 73304 (Mac OS X : Apple Safari < 6.1.3 / 7.0.3 Multiple Vulnerabilities), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family MacOS X Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 121875 (Apple Safari 6.1.3 / 7.0.3 Not Installed (HT6181)).

Upgrading to version 7.1.1 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability. The advisory contains the following remark:

These issues were addressed through improved memory handling.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at Tenable (73304), SecurityFocus (BID 66574†), Secunia (SA58140†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-53007†). The entries VDB-9457, VDB-11526, VDB-12775 and VDB-12773 are pretty similar. Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
