This new Lockscreen bug is found by Dany Lisiansky, and he uploaded a proof of concept video on YouTube with the complete step by step guide.
Unlike the previous bugs it will not expose your Email, Photos, Facebook and Twitter but allows attackers to access your phone call history, voicemails and entire list of contacts.
A step by step guide released by iDownloadblog:
- Make a phone call (with Siri / Voice Control)

- When the FaceTime App appears, click the Sleep button
- Unlock the iPhone
- Answer and End the FaceTime call at the other end

It would be easy for someone who knows you or your love partner or your business partner to obtain your phone and call themselves from it to take advantage of this trick and they may only gain access to the Phone app.
Fixing this bug is pretty simple, Disable the Siri in Lockscreen by navigating to "Settings –> General –> Passcode –> Siri" and disable it there.
