Vulnerability in iPhone – Vulnerability In iPhone Mail Application

The iPhone’s Mail and Safari browser applications  could leave owners to a URL spoofing vulnerability, which may allow attackers to conduct phishing attacks against the phone’s users.

By creating a specially crafted URL, and sending it via an e-mail, an attacker can convince the user that the spoofed URL, shown in the mail application, is from a trusted domain, such as a bank, PayPal or a social network.

When the iPhone user clicks on the URL, the Safari browser will be opening the spoofed URL, but still be viewed by the victim as if it is from a trusted domain.

The iPhone user will then be open to phishing attacks as they will enter private information, such as passwords, because they believe they are on the real site and not a fake.

Security researcher Aviv Raff also says. In addition, a security design flaw means the iPhone’s Mail application is also spammable.

iPhone Mail and Safari on firmware 1.1.4 and 2.0 are affected by this vulnerability. Earlier versions may also be affected, said Aviv Raff.

Mozilla patched nine security vulnerabilities in Thunderbird.

Thunderbird 2.0.0.16, which was added to Mozilla’s download servers also quashes nine bugs, including one that was patched in Firefox last week, the company’s open-source browser. The remainder fix flaws that were first addressed in early July when Mozilla updated Firefox to version 2.0.0.15.

Seven of the nine bugs were rated moderate by Mozilla, the second-lowest of the four rankings in its threat system. The other two were low.
[ad#add-top-in]
The bug patched in Thunderbird 23rd Jul that was fixed in Firefox before it was in the browser rendering engine’s CSSValue array data structure. According to Mozilla, the vulnerability could be used by hackers to force a crash, and from there, run malicious code. Several other just-patched Thunderbird vulnerabilities could also be used by attackers to execute code remotely.

Thunderbird 2.x, like its browser sibling, is on the way out. Most of Mozilla’s attention is now on Thunderbird 3.0, which has been available as an Alpha 1 preview for more than two months.

Users can download Thunderbird in versions for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux from the Mozilla site, the e-mail client’s built-in updater or wait for the automatic update notification.
