NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libusbmuxd package and not the libusbmuxd 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.
