At the top of the list, the device's operating system runs every
application with administrator privileges, according to Miller and
his cohorts at Independent Security Evaluators, turning a simple
breach of any application into a breach of the system. In addition,
both the iPhone's stack and heap are executable and the layout of
programs in memory are not randomised - two factors that make
exploitation of any vulnerabilities much easier, he said.

"I think people are letting Apple off easy," Miller said. "You need
to design the iPhone so that even if there is a problem in Safari,
people don't completely take over your phone."
