Bugtraq id: 57967

IPhone is a 4-Band GSM mobile phone that supports EDGE and 802.11b/g wireless Internet access (iPhone 3g/3Gs/4 supports WCDMA Internet access, iPhone 4 supports 802.11n ), supports email, mobile calls, text messages, network browsing, and other wireless communication services.

When the Apple iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0.1, 6.0.2, and 6.1 processes an emergency call, if an error occurs when you press the "sleep" button, the "Passcode Lock" function may be bypassed, this may cause leakage of contact information or call execution.
