Since Apple released iOS 5.1 to Apple users and too many iPhone users updated to this version where they hope to find some new things in it like making a better iPhone battery or anything else.. Of course it’s not a new thing that iOS is considered to be one of the safest mobile operating systems on the market, but it looks like that there is somethings aren’t going well in iOS 5.1 as right now a new security bug has recently been discovered in Apple’s software. Reports are surfacing today that an exploit has been found inside mobile Safari…
And here’s one of the reports from David Vieira-Kurz of Major Security:
“The weakness is caused due to an error within the handling of URLs when using javascript’s window.open() method. This can be exploited to potentially trick users into supplying sensitive information to a malicious website, because information displayed in the address bar can be constructed in a certain way, which may lead users to believe that they’re visiting another website that the displayed web site.”
But don’t worry for jailbreakers like us will not face any trouble from this iOS 5.1 exploit but for other people who are facing some troubles in Safari The team has provided a demonstration of the exploit, which you can replicate on your iOS device by clicking here just after you click on it you will find a new tab have been opened on Apple’s official site, and that’s it. you’ll actually be on majorsecurity.net. It’s an iFrame trick.
