One day after iOS 6.1.3, a new iPhone lock screen bug emerges
Submitted by l33tdawg on Thu, 2013-03-21 09:45
Just a day after Apple released iOS 6.1.3, a new lock screen bug has been discovered that could give an attacker access to private information. The vulnerability is different from the passcode bug(s) addressed by Tuesday's iOS update, but the end result is similar: access to iPhone's contact list and photos.
The new lock screen bug was first documented by YouTube user videosdebarraquito, who posted a video demoing the procedure. The basic gist, seen in the video below, is to eject the iPhone's SIM card while using the built-in voice controls to make a phone call.
