While the iOS world has been relatively clean of malware, it has (had) its share of privacy issues, and so it appears again today. AppleInsider reports that an iOS 6 bug reenables JavaScript in Safari without user consent. Even though this privacy and security vulnerability doesn't appear to be actively exploited at the moment, it could allow browser fingerprinting of those users who thought they'd stopped that by disabling JavaScript. Not!
