Apple has released Security Update 2015-003 for OS X Yosemite v10.10.2 to address multiple vulnerabilities. Exploitation of one of these vulnerabilities may allow a remote attacker to take control of an affected system. US-CERT encourages users and administrators to review Apple Security Update 2015-003 and apply the necessary updates. Learn more: - http://www.scoop.it/t/apple-mac-ios4-ipad-iphone-and-in-security

Originalmeldung: Der Trojaner Wirelurker hat wohl bereits viele iPhones und iPads angegriffen: Sicherheitsforscher der Firma Palo Alto Networks haben eine iOS-Malware namens Wirelurker entdeckt, die sich über eine App verbreitet und schon hunderttausende User infiziert haben könnten. Seinen Ursprung hat der Trojaner wohl in China, die Entdecker berichten, dass anfangs über 400 Apps im Maiyadi App Store, einem alternativen Appstore für OS X, infiziert wurden. Diese Anwendungen greifen dann die iPhones und iPads der Opfer an. Da die betroffenen Apps bislang über 350.000 Mal heruntergeladen wurden, ist die Zahl der theoretisch infizierten Apple-Geräte entsprechend groß.

Des chercheurs en sécurité affirment avoir découvert une nouvelle famille de malwares, lesquels peuvent mettre à mal les appareils d'Apple. Afin d'éviter toute propagation de virus ou chevaux de Troie, Apple contrôle très strictement ses systèmes d'exploitation et plus précisément les applications publiées au sein de leurs plateformes de téléchargement respectives.

Details are finally emerging about a serious vulnerability in Apple's OS X Yosemite, called "Rootpipe" which allows root access by attackers. The privilege escalation vulnerability was discovered by Swedish hacker Emil Kvarnhammar, who has been asked by Apple to withhold details until January 2015 -- since Apple likely wouldn't allow details until they have a fix, this is probably when users can expect a patch. Rootpipe is a privilege escalation from admin to root so switching to a non-admin account would clearly be a good thing," Kvarnhammar said.

According to Palo Alto Networks, WireLurker, running on an OS X system, can install either downloaded third-party applications or automatically generate malicious applications onto a USB-connected iOS device, regardless of whether it is jailbroken.

In short, the initial WireLurker infection comes from a third-party Mac OS X app store (in this case, the Chinese Maiyadi app store). Once you download and install an infected app onto your OS X machine, that’s where the fun begins. If you then plug an iOS device into an infected OS X machine, WireLurker installs itself on the iOS device. By using iOS’s enterprise provisioning system — a method usually reserved for companies to side-load apps directly onto corporate iOS devices — WireLurker can even infect non-jailbroken devices.

WireLurker monitors any iOS device connected via USB with an infected OS X computer and installs downloaded third-party applications or automatically generated malicious applications onto the device, regardless of whether it is jailbroken. This is the reason we call it “wire lurker”. Researchers have demonstrated similar methods to attack non-jailbroken devices before; however, this malware combines a number of techniques to successfully realize a new brand of threat to all iOS devices.

Is there any (Mac) OS X-specific malware around? Oh yes. But for some odd reason I haven't said anything interesting on this topic for quite a while… The last time was two and a half years ago. Yes... So what can we deduce from these data? First: cybercriminals find it easiest making money with mostly legal (well, almost legal) approaches. Persistent advertising also makes money, and coupled with large-scale infections – big money. Second: OS X virus writers are a fairly rare but sophisticated species. Unlike the Windows virus scene, the OS X virus scene bypassed the childish stage of ‘viruses for fun’ and went straight to the grown-up – Mac OS – stuff with all the attendant hardcore malware tricks that are necessary for it. These are serious folks, folks! It’s very likely they honed their skills on the Windows platform first, and then went over to Mac to conquer new, uncharted territory in search of new untapped money-making possibilities. After all, the money’s there, and the users are relatively blasé about security, which means there are plenty of opportunities – for those blackhatters who are willing to put in the work. Third: professional espionage groups have really taken to exploiting OS X. Many APT attacks in the last few years acquired Mac-modules, for example Careto, Icefog, and the targeted attacks against Uyghur activists. Yes, here we’re talking pinpointed –exclusive as opposed to mass – attacks, aimed at specially chosen victims; this is why they don’t figure in the top-20. Not that they are any less dangerous; especially if your data may be interesting to intelligence agencies. Learn more: - http://www.scoop.it/t/apple-mac-ios4-ipad-iphone-and-in-security

One of the bugs fixed in iOS and Apple TV was first reported a year ago and fixed in OS X in May of this year. Apple has released new versions of iOS, OS X, Safari and Apple TV, and disclosed the vulnerabilities fixed in those new versions. A total of 60 unique vulnerabilities are addressed in the products. ===> As is common with Apple, some of the vulnerabilities are quite old. <=== iOS 7.1.2 fixes 44 vulnerabilities in the previous version. These include two lock screen bugs and two which could allow bypass of Find My iPhone and Activation Lock, the new anti-theft measures. The new version also adds encryption of attachments in the Mail app, a problem first reported two months ago. The usual long list of WebKit bugs is fixed and the list of trusted root certificates was updated. Learn more: - http://www.scoop.it/t/apple-mac-ios4-ipad-iphone-and-in-security
