Apple Safari on iPhone and iPod touch is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability.

Successful exploits can allow an attacker to run arbitrary code in the context of the user running the application. Failed attacks may cause denial-of-service conditions.

Safari on Apple iPhone and iPod touch 3.1.3 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
