Apple · Ios · CVE-2009-0959
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Apple iPhone OS versions 1.0 through 2.2.1
Apple iPhone OS for iPod touch versions 1.1 through 2.2.1
**Description**
The issue is related to the MPEG-4 video codec, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a device reset. This is achieved through a crafted MPEG-4 video file that triggers an input validation issue.
**Recommendations**
For Apple iPhone OS versions 1.0 through 2.2.1, update to a version outside of this range to resolve the issue.
For Apple iPhone OS for iPod touch versions 1.1 through 2.2.1, update to a version outside of this range to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of the MPEG-4 video codec until a patch is available.
