Safari Vulnerability Leaves Apple iPhone Open To Attack - CRN

Security experts say that the design flaw, which was detected by researchers at application delivery solutions company Radware earlier this week, triggers a series of memory allocation operations on the memory pool, which in turn triggers another bug in the garbage collector.

In order to exploit the vulnerability, a user would have to open a malicious HTML page containing javascript, usually through some kind of social engineering tactic such as phishing e-mail. Researchers said that in a worst case scenario, the user will experience an application level denial of service attack that could result in a complete crash of the Safari browser. The crashed browser could ultimately escalate the malfunction to the point of paralyzing the entire iPhone appliance.
There's a great quote from a Radware manager that will have more than one of you nod in agreement.
