DoS Bug discovered in iPhone

Radware is known for producing enterprise security software and they have recently claimed that they have discovered a Denial of Service bug in iPhone’s Safari browser. According to Radware, the DoS bug is triggered by a javascript command and this can crash the browser or even the iPhone in the worst case. Radware has claimed that the bug is available in the firmware version 1.1.4 which is Apple’s latest firmware. However, Apple professionals are yet to address this issue.

To be on safer side, do not click the links from the sources which you do not trust as Radware has proposed that multiple memory allocation operations on the dynamic memory pool are responsible for triggering the bug. The bug can easily be triggered by a spam email or SMS message but it is unlikely to leave a lasting impact in most cases as re-starting the phone will reset everything. However, you should not avoid the possibility of a crash. So, play safe !
