WebKit in Apple iOS before 4 on the iPhone and iPod touch does not properly implement the history.replaceState method in certain situations involving IFRAME elements, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted HTML document.

Various bugs in webkit have been fixed. The CVE id's are :

Gustavo Noronha reports :

Debian's Michael Gilbert has done a great job going through all CVEs released about WebKit, and including patches in the Debian package.
1.2.3 includes all of the commits from trunk to fix those, too.

The remote mobile host is a using a version of Apple iOS earlier than 4.0. Such versions are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities. Apple iOS 4.0 contains security fixes for the following components :
