Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Apple iOS up to 7.0.2 (Smartphone Operating System). This affects an unknown functionality of the component Passcode Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a access control vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-264. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Passcode Lock in Apple iOS before 7.0.3 on iPhone devices allows physically proximate attackers to bypass an intended passcode requirement, and dial arbitrary telephone numbers, by tapping the emergency-call button during a certain notification and camera-pane state to trigger a NULL pointer dereference.

The weakness was presented 10/22/2013 by Dany Lisiansky as APPLE-SA-2013-10-22-1 as confirmed mailinglist post (Apple Security Mailinglist). The advisory is shared at lists.apple.com. The mailinglist post contains:

A NULL dereference existed in the lock screen which would cause it to restart if the emergency call button was tapped while a notification was being swiped and while the camera pane was partly visible. While the lock screen was restarting, the call dialer could not get the lock screen state and assumed the device was unlocked, and so allowed non-emergency numbers to be dialed. This issue was addressed by avoiding the NULL dereference.
This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2013-5144 since 08/15/2013. An attack has to be approached locally. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Neither technical details nor an exploit are publicly available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1068 for this issue.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 70562 (Apple iOS < 7.0.3 Multiple Security Bypass Vulnerabilities), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Mobile Devices.
