CVE-2012-3731


TITLE

Apple iOS Vulnerabilities that can bypass passcode requests in email

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2012-004534

DESCRIPTION

Mail in Apple iOS before 6 does not properly implement the Data Protection feature for e-mail attachments, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass an intended passcode requirement via unspecified vectors. Apple iOS for the iPhone, the iPod touch, and the iPad is prone to a security-bypass vulnerability. This may aid in further attacks. NOTE: This issue was previously discussed in BID 55612 (Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod touch Prior to iOS 6 Multiple Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it. Apple iOS is an operating system developed by Apple (Apple) for mobile devices. A proximity attacker could exploit this vulnerability to bypass specially crafted password requirements via an unidentified vector
