Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Apple iOS 3.1.3 (Smartphone Operating System). This affects some unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a code injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-94. The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Safari on Apple iPhone OS 3.1.3 for iPod touch allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long exception string in a throw statement, possibly a related issue to CVE-2009-1514.

The issue has been introduced in 02/02/2010. The weakness was published 03/29/2010 (Website). The advisory is shared at securityfocus.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2010-1180 since 03/29/2010. 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. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1059 for this issue.

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 55 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $100k and more.
