A Cisco researcher has highlighted vulnerabilities in iOS, OS X, tvOS, and watchOS. These operating systems are said to be vulnerable to malware that's been embedded in an image file. The malware, which can allegedly run undetected, allows the attacker to achieve remote code execution on the infected system.Cisco Talos' Tyler Bohan said that users could receive the file via MMS or email, or even be exposed to it when it's placed on a malicious webpage. The remote code execution vulnerabilities were found in the way Apple operating systems access image data using APIs - specifically, Apple Core Graphics API, Scene Kit, and Image I/O.
Now when it comes to Apple, there’s always that excitement while we write speaking about Apple and what they do, how different is it from the rest? But off late, post WWDC it’s always been those gloomy approach due to lack of anything new from Apple apart for those new (maybe?) exciting features that they showcased at the WWDC? We might actually debate that. The problem is that we believe that Apple nowadays want to rush things just like anybody else and rather not spend time to actually innovate something new that would actually excite the listener.
