Hi!
iPod/iPhone standard e-mail application does not validate SSL certificates and is vulnerable to a MITM (man in the middle attack). Vulnerable: All versions.
Well... mujmail.org email client also does not validate ssl cerificates -- optionaly. Reasoning is that SSL with unverified certificate is still better than sending plaintext passwords. Does that count as a vulnerability? Pavel -- (english) http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek (cesky, pictures) http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~pavel/picture/horses/blog.html
