Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Apple iOS up to 6.1.2 (Smartphone Operating System). It has been classified as critical. This affects an unknown code of the component IOUSBDeviceFamily Driver. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as 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. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

The IOUSBDeviceFamily driver in the USB implementation in the kernel in Apple iOS before 6.1.3 and Apple TV before 5.2.1 accesses pipe object pointers that originated in userspace, which allows local users to gain privileges via crafted code.

The weakness was released 03/19/2013 by evad3rs as HT5704 as confirmed advisory (Apple Security Announce). The advisory is shared at support.apple.com. The public release was coordinated with Apple. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2013-0981 since 01/10/2013. The exploitability is told to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a private exploit is available. The price for an exploit might be around USD $5k-$25k at the moment (estimation calculated on 04/28/2017). It is expected to see the exploit prices for this product increasing in the near future.

A private exploit has been developed by evad3rs. It is declared as proof-of-concept.

Upgrading to version 6.1.3 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (82934), SecurityFocus (BID 58589†), OSVDB (91527†), Secunia (SA52173†) and Vulnerability Center (SBV-39372†).
