As long as your phone is not jailbroken, you have nothing to worry about. There are no known viruses or malware that can infect a non-jailbroken iPhone.

iOS 7.1.1

CFNetwork HTTPProtocol

Available for: iPhone 4 and later, iPod touch (5th generation) and later, iPad 2 and later

Impact: An attacker in a privileged network position can obtain web site credentials

Description: Set-Cookie HTTP headers would be processed even if the connection closed before the header line was complete. An attacker could strip security settings from the cookie by forcing the connection to close before the security settings were sent, and then obtain the value of the unprotected cookie. This issue was addressed by ignoring incomplete HTTP header lines.

CVE-ID

CVE-2014-1296 : Antoine Delignat-Lavaud of Prosecco at Inria Paris

IOKit Kernel

Available for: iPhone 4 and later, iPod touch (5th generation) and later, iPad 2 and later

Impact: A local user can read kernel pointers, which can be used to bypass kernel address space layout randomization

Description: A set of kernel pointers stored in an IOKit object could be retrieved from userland. This issue was addressed through removing the pointers from the object.

CVE-2014-1320 : Ian Beer of Google Project Zero working with HP's Zero Day Initiative

Security - Secure Transport

Available for: iPhone 4 and later, iPod touch (5th generation) and later, iPad 2 and later

Impact: An attacker with a privileged network position may capture data or change the operations performed in sessions protected by SSL

Description: In a 'triple handshake' attack, it was possible for an attacker to establish two connections which had the same encryption keys and handshake, insert the attacker's data in one connection, and renegotiate so that the connections may be forwarded to each other. To prevent attacks based on this scenario, Secure Transport was changed so that, by default, a renegotiation must present the same server certificate as was presented in the original connection.
