Details

Safari web browser installed in iPod touch and iPhone contains a vulnerability which allows a self-signed or invalid server certificate to be accepted without the user's explicit concent. Safari is a web browser provided by Apple. Safari installed in iPod touch and iPhone accepts a self-signed or invalid server cerficate without the user's explicit concent when connecting via SSL/TLS. According to Apple, "When Safari accesses a website that uses a self-signed or invalid certificate, it prompts the user to accept or reject the certificate. If the user presses the menu button while at the prompt, then on the next visit to the site, the certificate is accepted with no prompt." Hiromitsu Takagi reported this vulnerability to IPA. JPCERT/CC coordinated with the vendor under Information Security Early Warning Partnership.
