iphone_homeGood morning clients and visitors!

If you are one of our clients who uses an iPhone, we thought you should know about a new security risk Apple has just released an update to fix.

Apple has released iPhone OS 3.0.1 to address a vulnerability in the CoreTelephony component. By sending a specially crafted SMS message to a user, an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial-of-service condition.

US-CERT encourages users review Apple article HT3754 and apply any necessary updates to help mitigate the risk.
