Descriptions

The iTunes Store component in Apple iOS before 8.1.3 allows remote attackers to bypass a Safari sandbox protection mechanism by leveraging redirection of an SSL URL to the iTunes Store.

El componente iTunes Store en Apple iOS anterior a 8.1.3 permite a atacantes remotos evadir el mecanismo de protección Safari sandbox mediante el aprovechamiento de la redirección de una URL de SSL en iTunes Store.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to escalate privileges on vulnerable installations of Apple iOS. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the handling of SSL connections. The issue lies in the implicit trust of sites that offer URL redirection services. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code outside the context of the sandbox.
