CRLF injection vulnerability in WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0, iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.2.1, and iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 2.2.1 allows remote attackers to inject HTTP headers and bypass the Same Origin Policy via a crafted HTML document, related to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks that depend on communication with arbitrary web sites on the same server through use of XMLHttpRequest without a Host header.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old WebKit browser flaw that could let a malicious web page inject HTTP headers and work around browser same-origin protections. For executives, the practical concern is legacy Safari or iPhone OS exposure, not modern mainstream browsers, based on the supplied sources. Exposure is most likely where obsolete Apple Safari or affected iPhone OS/iPod touch OS versions remain in use. The bundle also references downstream WebKit advisories, but product and version detail is incomplete here. Prioritize remediation if legacy Apple browsers or old embedded WebKit clients can access sensitive services. Otherwise, track as historical risk and confirm there is no unsupported browser population. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Safari to a version not affected, per Apple guidance.; Retire affected iPhone OS and iPod touch OS versions.; Check vendor advisories for downstream WebKit package fixes..
