German site Spiegel.de is today reporting on a newly discovered iPhone vulnerability. The vulnerability purportedly forces a phonecall to be initiated simply from visiting a webpage in Safari.

The vulnerability was initially revealed by ComputerBild earlier in the week but was transcribed in more detail today by Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology (SIT).

SIT has revealed that it notified Apple of the vulnerability one month ago and that a fix will be available via a firmware update on November 21. The report corroborates earlier reports that the latest iPhone OS would be released on Friday November 21.
