NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libimobiledevice package and not the libimobiledevice package as distributed by Ubuntu.

The socket_create function in common/socket.c in libimobiledevice and libusbmuxd allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions and communicate with services on iOS devices by connecting to an IPv4 TCP socket.
