For more information see vulnerability #21 in: SA47843 5) A race condition error in the Passcode Lock component when handling slide to dial gestures can be exploited to bypass the Passcode Lock screen. 6) The weakness is caused due to the Private Browsing mode in Safari not properly preventing recording of visits to certain sites using the pushState or replaceState JavaScript methods. 7) An error within the Siri component when handling voice commands can be exploited to bypass the screen lock and forward an open mail message to an arbitrary recipient. 9) A cross-origin error in the WebKit component can be exploited to bypass the same-origin policy and disclose a cookie by tricking the user into visiting a malicious website. 10) An error within the WebKit component when handling drag-and-drop actions can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks. 11) Multiple unspecified errors within the WebKit component can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks. 12) Some vulnerabilities are caused due to a bundled vulnerable version of WebKit. For more information: SA45698 SA46049 SA46308 SA46594 SA46815 SA47231 SA47694 Successful exploitation of vulnerabilities #2, #4, #8, and #12 may allow execution of arbitrary code.
