Apple iPhone 1.1.3 remote DoS exploit

From: morin.josh () gmail com
Date: 5 Feb 2008 20:43:06 -0000

Vendor: Apple

Version affected: 1.1.2 and 1.1.3

Overview:The Apple iPhone remote DoS for 1.1.2 was discovered by c0ntex, but it actually works on 1.1.3 as well. After 
further research it also appears that this was a known issue with Firefox version 1.5.04 and was effected 
cross-platform.
Called Mozilla Firefox JavaScript navigator Object Vulnerability.I recommend you disable Java until Apple releases a 
fix or patch.
