iOS 4.2.7 Software Update for iPhone is now available and addresses
the following:
Certificate Trust Policy
Available for: iOS 4.2.5 through 4.2.6 for iPhone 4 (CDMA)
Impact: An attacker with a privileged network position may intercept
user credentials or other sensitive information
Description: Several fraudulent SSL certificates were issued by a
Comodo affiliate registration authority. This may allow a man-in-the-
middle attacker to redirect connections and intercept user
credentials or other sensitive information. This issue is addressed
by blacklisting the fraudulent certificates. Note: For Mac OS X
systems, this issue is addressed with Security Update 2011-002. For
Windows systems, Safari relies on the certificate store of the host
operating system to determine if an SSL server certificate is
trustworthy. Applying the update described in Microsoft Knowledge
Base Article 2524375 will cause Safari to regard these certificates
as untrusted. The article is available at

time you connect your iPhone.

update via the Check for Updates button within iTunes. After doing
this, the update can be applied when your iPhone is docked to your
computer.
