The Mail component in Apple iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.2.1 and iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 2.2.1 dismisses the call approval dialog when another alert appears, which might allow remote attackers to force the iPhone to place a call without user approval by causing an application to trigger an alert.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old Apple mobile Mail flaw could let an attacker make an affected iPhone or iPod touch place a phone call without the normal user approval dialog. The issue matters mainly where obsolete iPhone OS 1.x or 2.x devices still exist. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Apple devices still running the affected iPhone OS versions. Modern iOS versions are not identified as affected in the provided CVE bundle. Low for most organizations because the affected platforms are obsolete. Treat as an asset hygiene issue unless legacy Apple devices remain in operational, executive, lab, or regulated environments. Mitigation focus: Identify any remaining devices running iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.2.1 or iPod touch OS 1.1 through 2.2.1.; Consult Apple advisory HT3639 or APPLE-SA-2009-06-17-1 for vendor guidance.; Retire, replace, or isolate unsupported affected devices from business use..
