AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Safari in Apple iOS versions prior to 8.4.1

Description The issue is related to the improper handling of data in the Safari component of the iOS operating system. It may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service by using a specially crafted URL, due to the lack of limitations on the number of JavaScript alert messages. This can lead to apparent browser locking.

Recommendations For versions prior to 8.4.1, update to version 8.4.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to untrusted web sites to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the Safari browser to access potentially malicious web sites until the issue is resolved.
