TITLE

Apple iOS of Springboard Vulnerable to disguised dialog window for arbitrary applications

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2015-004809

DESCRIPTION

SpringBoard in Apple iOS before 9 does not properly restrict access to privileged API calls, which allows attackers to spoof the dialog windows of an arbitrary app via a crafted app. Supplementary information : CWE Vulnerability type by CWE-284: Improper Access Control ( Inappropriate access control ) Has been identified. http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/284.htmlAn attacker could impersonate a dialog window of an arbitrary application through a crafted application. Apple iOS is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities. Attackers can exploit these issues to bypass security restrictions, obtain sensitive information, execute arbitrary code, cause a denial-of-service condition, perform unauthorized actions and gain system privileges; this may aid in launching further attacks. Versions prior to iOS 9 are vulnerable. Apple iOS is an operating system developed by Apple (Apple) for mobile devices. Springboard is a desktop for Apple iDevice. The vulnerability stems from the incorrect use of private API calls by the program
