Piergiorgio Zambrini, who many of you may know him as the creator of the Ziphone application, claims to have found what he believes to be one of the most wide-spread security holes in Apple’s product line. Zambrini has recently applied for a job as an iPhone security engineer at Apple.

We would say he has better qualifications than the lineup Apple currently has. While he is not going to put Apple in danger by releasing any of this information, he says the security flaw is not only found in the iPhone, but in other Apple devices such as iPods and even computers.  The security flaw is claimed to be in the most unexpected of all places.

Zambrini claims that he bug involves the audio portion of Apple’s video format, this portion potentially can crash an Apple device whenever the file is played. While he has not stated that it can be used maliciously, but the flaw could “immediately send the device into a panic that leads to a lengthy reboot.” The last thing Apple needs is more crashing on their iPhones.  Zambrini has brought this to Apple’s attention back in July, but has yet to hear back about the issue or his application.
