Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in WebKit JavaScriptCore (Web Browser). This affects some unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a resource management vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-399. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

JavaScriptCore in WebKit on Apple iPhone before 2.0 and iPod touch before 2.0 does not properly perform runtime garbage collection, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via unspecified vectors that trigger memory corruption, a different vulnerability than CVE-2008-2317.

The bug was discovered 07/11/2008. The weakness was published 07/14/2008 by Hiromitsu Takagi (TippingPoint) with Zero Day Initiative (Website). The advisory is shared at lists.apple.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2008-1590 since 03/31/2008. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.

The exploit is shared for download at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 3 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k.

Upgrading to version 2.0 eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (43738), SecurityFocus (BID 30186†), OSVDB (47288†), Secunia (SA31074†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-20068†).
