Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Apple iOS up to 4.0.0 (Smartphone Operating System). It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown function. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a cross site scripting vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-80. The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special characters such as "<", ">", and "&" that could be interpreted as web-scripting elements when they are sent to a downstream component that processes web pages. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The Settings component in Apple iOS before 5, when a configuration profile is used for a locale other than English, does not properly implement localization, which makes it easier for attackers to have an unspecified impact by leveraging incorrect configuration display.
