Descriptions

The Profiles component in Apple iPhone OS 1.0 through 2.2.1 and iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 2.2.1, when installing a configuration profile, can replace the password policy from Exchange ActiveSync with a weaker password policy, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass the intended policy.

El componente Profiles en Apple iPhone OS v1.0 hasta v2.2.1 e iPhone OS para iPod touch v1.1 hasta v2.2.1, cuando instalan un perfil de configuración, puede reemplazar la política de contraseña desde Exchange ActiveSync por una política de contraseña débil, permitiendo a atacantes próximos físicamente eludir la política prevista.
