Peaches Posted June 23, 2010 Report Share Posted June 23, 2010 22 June 2010, 16:14Apple's iOS 4 update fixes 65 vulnerabilities Apple has released version 4.0 of its iOS mobile operating system, formerly know as the iPhone OS, closing a total of 65 vulnerabilities, some of which could be used by an attacker to take remote control of the device. According to Apple, several of the vulnerabilities could, for example, lead to the execution of arbitrary code on a user's device or to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. For an attack to be successful, a victim would first have to open a maliciously crafted TIFF image, JPEG image or website. Fifty of the security issues addressed – several of which were reported to Apple by TippingPoint's Zero Day Initiative – are related to WebKit, the browser engine upon which the iOS version of the Safari web browser is based.
