TITLE:
iPhone Configuration Profiles Spoofing Security Issue

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38433

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38433/

DESCRIPTION:
A security issue has been discovered in the iPhone OS, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct spoofing attacks.

The security issue is caused due to an error in the handling of
"mobileconfig" files received via the Safari browser. The problem is
that signed "mobileconfig" files are verified against the default
Safari keystore and being displayed without detailed certificate
information. This can be exploited to trick a user into installing
malicious configuration profiles and e.g. change critical system
settings.

The security issue is confirmed in iPhone OS 3.1.3. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not rely on the displayed verification when installing
configuration profiles.
