CVE-2017-7153: Medium severity Apple tvOS vulnerability
An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 11.2 is affected. Safari before 11.0.2 is affected. iCloud before 7.2 on Windows is affected. iTunes before 12.7.2 on Windows is affected. tvOS before 11.2 is affected. watchOS before 4.2 is affected. The issue involves the "WebKit" component. It allows remote attackers to spoof user-interface information (about whether the entire content is derived from a valid TLS session) via a crafted web site that sends a 401 Unauthorized redirect.
Other sources
WebKit. Redirect responses to 401 Unauthorized may allow a malicious website to incorrectly display the lock icon on mixed content. This issue was addressed through improved URL display logic.
