Security researcher Aviv Raff has gone public on a pair of security vulnerabilities within the iPhone that he first warned Apple about months ago.
The researcher says he decided to publicise the workings of these security flaws on his blog because Apple has released at least three iPhone software updates since he informed the company of the flaws, and has made no move to patch the mobile system against the vulnerabilities. He let the company know about these problems way back in July.
The vulnerabilities are within Mail.
Mail automatically downloads images - images which could be compromised, and when they are downloaded, the image URL checks back with its source, enabling spammers to harvest an email address.
