Six college researchers have revealed dangerous zero-day flaws in Apple’s iOS and OS X, claiming it’s entirely possible to crack Apple’s password-storing key chain, break app sandboxes, and bypass its App Store safety checks.
A variety of newly found vulnerabilities affecting Apple’s Mac OS X and iOS operating systems may permit attackers to steal passwords and different credentials if successfully exploited. The vulnerabilities were uncovered by a team of researchers based in the University of Indiana, who found that the 4 separate flaws could enable a malicious app to bypass safety controls and steal sensitive information from different apps. The vulnerabilities had been reported to Apple in October 2014 and the company stated it will require six months to roll out fixes. Although some issues have been addressed, a lot of the vulnerabilities remain un patched till the filing of this report.
