<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Apple has released updates to three\u00a0of its four operating systems: iOS, tvOS, and watchOS. Apart from the usual stability improvements and bug fixes, there are some interesting\u00a0security fixes as well. A bypass bug discovered several weeks ago by Miguel Alvarado from iDeviceHelp, which allowed access to photos and contacts on a locked device, is most notable.<\/p>\n
Here’s what you need to know about Apple’s latest software updates.<\/p>\n
Apart from the new TV app, redesigned emoji and a few new full screen Messages effects there are a few security details\u00a0worth mentioning.<\/p>\n
Here are a few of the highlights:<\/p>\n
Accessibility<\/strong><\/p>\n CVE-2016-7634 & CVE-2016-7664:\u00a0With accessibility set up, iOS previously spoke passwords out loud, which of course allowed anyone within earshot to hear them. This behavior was disabled. An issue also existed with the lock screen, which allowed access to photos and contacts on a locked device. This was fixed by restricting lock screen options.<\/p>\n Find My iPhone<\/strong><\/p>\n CVE-2016-7638:\u00a0Usually when you try to disable Find My iPhone, you must enter your Apple ID password. This apparently did not always happen or was able to be bypassed by an attacker who\u00a0got their hands on an unlocked device. Improved storage of account information fixed this issue.<\/p>\n Local Authentication<\/strong><\/p>\n CVE-2016-7601:\u00a0The idle timer in iOS makes sure your device’s screen locks after a set amount of time. An issue with this timer sometimes prevented this from happening. The issue was addressed by improving the handling of the timer.<\/p>\n Mail<\/strong><\/p>\n CVE-2016-4689:\u00a0Email can be secured with S\/MIME certificates and can be set to sign, encrypt or both. An email signed with a revoked certificate may have appeared valid while in fact it was not. S\/MIME policy failed to check if a certificate was valid. This issue was addressed by notifying a user if an email was signed with a revoked certificate.<\/p>\n SpringBoard<\/strong><\/p>\n CVE-2016-4781:\u00a0In some cases, a counter issue existed in the handling of passcode attempts when resetting the passcode. This could have allowed someone to unlock a device. The issue was resolved through improved state management. SpringBoard manages the home screen on your iOS device.<\/p>\nClick here to see the full list of iOS 10.2 security fixes<\/span> Available for: iPhone 5 and later, iPad 4th generation and later, iPod touch 6th generation and later<\/p>\n Impact: A nearby user may be able to overhear spoken passwords<\/p>\n Description: A disclosure issue existed in the handling of passwords.
