According to CERT-In, remote attackers could exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrarily, meaning the attacker can run any commands or code, deny service, and bypass security restrictions. The vulnerabilities have been found in macOS Big Sur versions before 11.6.8, macOS Catalina before 20022-005, and macOS Monterey versions before 12.5. As per CERT-In, remote attackers can exploit these vulnerabilities by leading the victim to visit compromised or maliciously crafted web content to executing arbitrary code and bypass security restrictions. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Why do these vulnerabilities exist?" comment="subhead" text="Why do these vulnerabilities exist?">Why do these vulnerabilities exist?</cmsannotation> According to CERT-In, these vulnerabilities exist due to out-of-bounds read in AppleScript, affecting the unknown part of the AppleScript component. Besides this, SMB and Kernel - space for sharing files over the network, GU Drivers, and SMB and WebKit. Authorization issues and information disclosure in the iCloud Photo Library and Calendar have also been found. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Vulnerabilities in iPadOS and iOS" comment="subhead" text="Vulnerabilities in iPadOS and iOS">Vulnerabilities in iPadOS and iOS</cmsannotation> Different vulnerabilities in iPadOS and Apple’s iOS have been found in versions before 15.6. Similar to macOS, these vulnerabilities can be exploited by a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions and cause a denial of service. To exploit the user, an attacker will take the user to maliciously crafted web content. The vulnerabilities and security threats are very much similar to macOS, as authorization issues have been found in the Home, ImageIO and Kernel and PluginKit. Besides this, issues in GPU drivers, memory corruption, information, and disclosure in iCloud Photo Library have also been found. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="What can you do?" comment="subhead" text="What can you do?">What can you do?</cmsannotation> To cope with these vulnerabilities and issues, Apple has released the latest <a href="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201222">security updates</a> for iOS and iPadOS following the latest version of macOS 12.5, the latest version of tvOS 15.6, and watchOS 8.7.

"Let's count." It's not necessarily a death sentence if Apple positions itself in competition with an app or service.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/drew-houston-dropbox-steve-jobs-2017-6">Dropbox CEO Drew Houston</a> famously declined to sell his company to Apple. Houston previously told Business Insider that Steve Jobs told him he thought Dropbox was a feature, not a product, and said something to the effect of: "Alright, well I guess we're gonna have to go kill you."Dropbox, which continues to compete with iCloud, survived and went public. It's currently valued at over $7 billion.But there are plenty of examples of Apple bringing the heat by <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/the-impact-of-apple-health-on-womens-health-startups-2022-11">incorporating a feature into its devices</a> similar to one a startup or smaller company offers.Remember flashlight apps? There's little need to download a third-party app after Apple baked the flashlight into iOS 7 years ago. There's also the once-popular annotation app Skitch, which eventually sold itself to Evernote. Apple introduced its own markup tool on Macs.With the updates announced at WWDC, Apple Intelligence will be able to rewrite, proofread, and summarize text in apps. It will also have an image-generating tool and a revamped Siri with advanced language understanding and text capabilities.Other highlights included a new Passwords app that lets users store and access passwords and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-ipad-calculator-app-math-notes-cool-feature-wwdc-ai-2024-6">whiteboard-like Math Notes tool for solving algebraic equations </a>and creating graphs from text.So who should be getting nervous now?Those watching Apple's keynote were quick to <a target="_blank" href="https://x.com/techjson/status/1800240745670172982">chime in</a> on social media about who could wind up on Apple's potential kill list, including Grammarly, Midjourney, Humane's AI Pin, and 1Password. AI math or calculator startups, journaling apps, and other organizational apps could also be vulnerable to replacement with some of the new updates.But a Grammarly spokesperson told Business Insider that it welcomes Apple to the space where it's "been operating for over 15 years.""Whenever new entrants come into our market, the reality is that we see increased demand for Grammarly," a company spokesperson said. "We are focused on continuing to innovate our OS-agnostic enterprise-grade AI communications service that works across over 500,000 apps and websites."Erik Noyes, who teaches about AI entrepreneurship at Babson College, said Apple's new AI features aren't "a huge deal" to the startup world at large. Noyes said WWDC might impact immediately adjacent startups in the space, but Apple Intelligence won't make a dent in AI startups at large.The companies have a few months before Apple Intelligence comes to the market. Even then, the new system will only be available on the latest software, iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia.But it's likely been a tense week for many startups, as they realized that Apple is coming to town and ready to eat their lunch.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Images are circulating on social media of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple">Apple's</a> official jailbroken iPhones.</li><li>The Security Research Devices are shipped to professionals who try to find and report security bugs.</li></ul>Jailbreaking iPhones — essentially, hacking iOS to remove security features — is a talking point on social media again.But this time, Apple is the one doing the jailbreaking.Gergely Kalman, a security researcher, posted a photo of a "Security Research Device," or SRD, a jailbroken iPhone 14 Pro sent to him by Apple, <a target="_blank" rel="noopener" href="https://twitter.com/gergely_kalman/status/1752377904514654719/photo/1">on X (formerly known as Twitter)</a>.The photo also included a page of instructions for researchers and several promotional stickers with the device.Kalman, who runs a cybersecurity firm based in Spain, said in the replies that he was "a bit shocked" at some of the jailbroken features.Apple pre-jailbreaks the devices, allowing third-party researchers to probe for vulnerabilities without worrying about being locked out."What this essentially means is that the researchers can run arbitrary code, as an arbitrary user with arbitrary entitlements, giving them almost complete control over the device," Kalman told Business Insider. The self-described "Apple-vetted hacker" noted that jailbreaks "usually don't exist" for the latest version of iOS. And when they do, they often accidentally compromise one or more crucial systems."Having an SRD as a security researcher is incredibly useful," he said.Any new vulnerabilities found are reported to Apple and addressed by the iOS developers. Researchers who find new vulnerabilities are eligible for a financial reward.For his part, Kalman has not yet found any iOS vulnerabilities himself. "Ask me in 6 months," he added.Aside from the jailbreaking, the devices are essentially "identical" to normal iPhones, Kalman said."For all intents and purposes, this could function as a perfectly regular iPhone 14 Pro, but it's explicitly forbidden for us to use it as such — for obvious reasons," Kalman said.Apple started offering so-called "bug bounties" in 2020, TechCrunch reported. Researchers are provided SRDs for 12-month periods, <a target="_blank" href="https://security.apple.com/research-device/">though access to the devices themselves is tightly controlled</a>.The bounties listed on Apple's security website <a target="_blank" href="https://security.apple.com/bounty/categories/">range considerably</a>; on the lower end of the spectrum, a $5,000 reward is available to researchers who manage to access an app by bypassing the lockscreen "without significant or very technical effort."Those who find a new vulnerability allowing them to bypass the iOS Lockdown Mode — an exceptionally difficult feat — may be eligible for a payout worth up to $2 million.That's not to say that Apple condones customers jailbreaking its devices. The tech giant has long held that "unauthorized modifications" to iOS <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/apple-jailbreak-iphone-warning2018-6">can cause numerous performance issues</a>, including crashes, freezes, and shortened battery life."Apple strongly cautions against installing any software that modifies iOS," <a target="_blank" href="https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/unauthorized-modification-of-ios-iph9385bb26a/ios">the iPhone User Guide said</a>. "It is also important to note that unauthorized modification of iOS is a violation of the iOS and iPadOS Software License Agreement, and because of this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone that has any unauthorized software installed."

The company also highlighted its latest advancements in privacy and security, unveiling noteworthy enhancements such as Safari Private Browsing, Communication Safety, Lockdown Mode, and improvements in app privacy. Business Insider India delves into the details of these new features that will be available on Apple devices. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Safari goes more secure" comment="subhead" text="Safari goes more secure">Safari goes more secure</cmsannotation> This year Safari has undergone a significant update to provide even stronger protection against trackers and unauthorised access to user devices. The enhanced Private Browsing feature now automatically locks the browsing window when idle, allowing users to keep their tabs open even when they step away from their device. This ensures that their browsing activity remains private and secure. Moreover, Apple has implemented improvements to the <keyword id="6359897" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="photos" source="Orion">Photos</keyword> privacy permissions. A new embedded Photos picker enables users to selectively share specific photos with apps while keeping the rest of their photo library confidential. When an app requests access to the entire photo library, users will receive more detailed information about what will be shared, accompanied by periodic reminders of their previous choice. These enhancements give users better control over their personal photos and reinforce their privacy preferences. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Enhanced privacy in communication" comment="subhead" text="Enhanced privacy in communication">Enhanced privacy in communication</cmsannotation> The enhanced version of Communication Safety has been expanded to include video content in addition to still images. It now offers an API that enables developers to seamlessly incorporate Communication Safety directly into their applications. Furthermore, this feature has been extended to ensure the safety of children while sending and receiving content through various channels, including AirDrop, FaceTime video messages, the Phone app (when receiving Contact Posters), and the Photos picker for selecting content to send. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Link-Tracking Protection now available in Messages, Mail, and Safari Private Browsing" comment="subhead" text="Link-Tracking Protection now available in Messages, Mail, and Safari Private Browsing">Link-Tracking Protection now available in Messages, Mail, and Safari Private Browsing</cmsannotation> Certain websites use additional data in their URLs to monitor users across different websites. However, with the forthcoming updates expected later this year, this supplementary information will be eliminated from the links shared by users in Messages and Mail. Despite this change, the shared links will continue to function normally without any issues. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Passwords and Passkeys updates" comment="subhead" text="Passwords and Passkeys updates">Passwords and Passkeys updates</cmsannotation> To facilitate the convenient and secure sharing of passwords and passkeys, users have the option to form a group where a collection of passwords can be shared. Within this group, all members possess the ability to add and modify passwords, ensuring their accuracy and currency. The sharing process takes place through iCloud Keychain, employing end-to-end encryption for enhanced security. Furthermore, Safari has introduced a new feature that automatically autofills one-time verification codes received in Mail, enabling seamless and secure logins without having to switch away from the browser.

In a report, the agency mentioned that the bugs could allow a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information, bypass security restrictions, execute arbitrary code, perform spoofing attacks and cause a denial of service (DoS) attack on the targeted system. "These vulnerabilities exist in Mozilla Firefox due to SQL injection in the history tab, Cross-Origin resources length leaked, Heap buffer overflow in WebGL, Browser window spoof using full-screen mode..." CERT-In said on its website. A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by convincing a victim to open a specially crafted web request. "Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow a remote attacker to disclose sensitive information, bypass security restrictions, execute arbitrary code, and cause a denial of service (DoS) attack on the targeted system," as per CERT-In. Users can upgrade to Mozilla Firefox iOS 101, Firefox Thunderbird 91.10, Firefox ESR 91.10, and Mozilla Firefox 101 for better security. Meanwhile, in March, the Central government said in the Rajya Sabha that the CERT-In has observed over 14 lakh cyber security incidents during 2021.

The past six months have seen some of the most widespread and alarming cyber attacks against the digital infrastructure in history -- against public utilities, private sector companies, government entities and people living in democracies around the world. "We are deeply concerned by these trends. Security is the cornerstone of our product strategy. We have dedicated teams like Project Zero who focus on finding and fixing vulnerabilities across the web to make the internet safer for all of us," said Kent Walker, SVP of Global Affairs at Google. Google said that in the US, the company is committed to supporting the most recent White House Cybersecurity Executive Order, which makes critical strides to improve America's cyber defenses in key areas. Google said that it strongly supports modernising computing systems, making security simple and scalable by default, and adopting best practices like zero trust frameworks. "As we saw with SolarWinds and the Microsoft Exchange attacks, proprietary systems and restrictions on interoperability and data portability can amplify a network's vulnerability, helping attackers scale up their efforts," Walker emphasised. "At Google, we've emphasised securing the software supply chain and we've long built technologies and advocated for standards that enhance the integrity and security of software," he added. Taking a tough stand on growing ransomware attacks, the <keyword id="44723" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Federal-Bureau-of-Investigation">Federal Bureau of Investigation</keyword> (FBI) and US Justice Department have announced to treat such cyber incidents as terror attacks. Major meat producer JBS USA has suffered a cyberattack and the ransom demand came from a criminal organisation likely based in Russia. The latest ransomware attack came weeks after a similar cyberattack targeting Colonial Pipeline, which forced the company to shut down approximately 5,500 miles of fuel pipeline for days. Meaningful improvement in cybersecurity, said Google, will require the public and private sectors to work together in areas like sharing information on cyber threats; developing a comprehensive, defensive security posture to protect against ransomware; and coordinating how they identify and invest in next-generation security tools. "Governments need industry-wide support and we are ready and willing to do our part," Walker said.

San Francisco, June 2 (IANS) Apple has released iOS 13.5.1 update with an important change that patches the vulnerability used by the Unc0ver jailbreak tool which was released last week and allegedly works on all recent versions of iOS, including iOS 13.5. Jailbreaking an iPhone gives users root access to the entire iPhone OS, allowing them to install tweaks and other apps outside of Apple's App Store. The updates are available on all eligible devices over-the-air in the Settings app. To access the updates, go to Settings &gt; General &gt; Software Update. "This update provides important security updates and is recommended for all users," the company said in a statement. Apple said that the new iOS 13.5.1 update also comes with new Memoji stickers and other bug fixes and improvements. In addition to iOS 13.5.1 and iPadOS 13.5.1, Apple is releasing watchOS 6.2.6 and updates for HomePod and Apple TV, 9to5Mac reports. To recall, Apple released iOS 13.5 last month with features such as Exposure Notification API. The update also made it easier to unlock iPhone models with Face ID even wearing a mask. There were also enhancements for FaceTime group calls and Apple Music. --IANS wh/na
