6.     iOS Security Flaws Identified (Apple 2013)

We identified seven attacks which can be performed by third-party applications on iOS 5 and iOS 6. We reported our findings to Apple's security team in October 2012. Three attacks, which include passcode cracking (CVE-2013-0957), interference with or control of telephony functionality (CVE-2013-5156) and sending tweets without the user's awareness and permission (CVE-2013-5157), were rectified by Apple in its release of iOS 7 in Sept 2013.
