Apple » Iphone Os : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In 2012 (Information Leak)

The extensions APIs in the kernel in Apple iOS before 6.0.1 provide kernel addresses in responses that contain an OSBundleMachOHeaders key, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted app.

The Passcode Lock implementation in Apple iOS before 6 does not properly interact with the "Slide to Power Off" feature, which allows physically proximate attackers to see the most recently used third-party app by watching the device's screen.

Messages in Apple iOS before 6, when multiple iMessage e-mail addresses are configured, does not ensure that a reply's sender address matches the recipient address of the original message, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information about alternate e-mail addresses in opportunistic circumstances by reading a reply.

The DNAv4 protocol implementation in the DHCP component in Apple iOS before 6 sends Wi-Fi packets containing a MAC address of a host on a previously used network, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information about previous device locations by sniffing an unencrypted Wi-Fi network for these packets.

CFNetwork in Apple iOS before 6 does not properly identify the host portion of a URL, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by leveraging the construction of an HTTP request with an incorrect hostname derived from a malformed URL.
