"Open the iPhone door, Siri!" - Apple's digital helper coughs up another lock screen hole

"Open the iPhone door, Siri!" - Apple's digital helper coughs up another lock screen hole | Apple, Mac, MacOS, iOS4, iPad, iPhone and (in)security... | Scoop.it
A hacker has found a way to bypass the iPhone 5 lock screen to get at your contacts. Ironically, he got in by asking Siri, Apple's voice-activated "helper."


The iPhone's lock screen is the easiest way to protect your phone from prying eyes in the event that it is lost or stolen - but activating Siri from the lock screen is like having no protection at all.

Siri caused other lock screen problems that needed fixing - it seems like déjà vu all over again - where holding down the home button allowed you to just ask nicely for your phone to bypass its own security.

The bug affects devices running iOS 7.1.1 - the latest Apple release.



Here's how to close the hole while...

Apple security update fixes iOS vulnerability

Apple security update fixes iOS vulnerability | Apple, Mac, MacOS, iOS4, iPad, iPhone and (in)security... | Scoop.it
The tech giant fixes a security problem in iOS that affected encrypted connections. Apple on Friday released the latest update of its mobile operating system. It's of note because it fixes an SSL connection issue, an important encryption vulnerability.




SSL, or Secure Sockets Layer, is one of the most basic forms of encrypting Internet traffic. Without it, almost anybody can see what you're doing online. According to Apple's fulldescription of the update, the software previously had problems validating the authenticity of the connection, and the software fix restores steps that were missing in the validation process.

Apple has never described exactly what its process is for ensuring the titles in its App Store are safe.

Apple and the SSL/TLS bug: Open questions

Apple and the SSL/TLS bug: Open questions | Apple, Mac, MacOS, iOS4, iPad, iPhone and (in)security... | Scoop.it
[UPDATE] It says something about Apple's priorities that they fixed the iOS version of a very serious bug but left Mac users conspicuously vulnerable.


The SSL bug Apple patched on iOS on Friday is a shocking and embarrassing one. That it appears to have been in both iOS and OS X for some time and the way Apple is addressing it show both that Apple knows how serious it is and that Mac users play second fiddle in Apple's orchestra. 

Apple has only released a patch for iOS, not OS X.


Make no mistake about it, this is a very serious bug. The bug makes it fairly straightforward to intercept and decrypt SSL/TLS communications, probably the most important security protocol there is today.


Any time you see Apple (or really any major vendor) release an update that fixes a single bug, you can be sure it's a high-priority bug. And there's no reason to believe that it's higher-priority for iOS users than for Mac users.


So why did they not fix OS X at the same time? Because OS X isn't top priority anymore.

Former Apple Security Engineer To Apple: 'Fix Your Sh-t'

Former Apple Security Engineer To Apple: 'Fix Your Sh-t' | Apple, Mac, MacOS, iOS4, iPad, iPhone and (in)security... | Scoop.it
If it wasn't yet clear to Apple that its 'gotofail' security flaw has the undivided attention of the information security industry, one of its own recently departed star engineers just spelled out the severity of that bug in highly profane terms. "WHAT THE EVER LOVING F**K, APPLE??!?!!" wrote former Apple security [...]


Paget, a well-regarded researcher who left her position on Apple’s security team for a job at Tesla just earlier this month, wrote perhaps the most scathing critique yet of the company’s security response to its “gotofail” bug, which would allow a wide array of Apple programs’ SSL-encrypted communications to be hijacked, eavesdropped or corrupted. The vulnerability, which earned its nickname due to being caused by a single misplaced “goto” command in Apple’s code, was patched Friday for iOS.


But researchers quickly found that it affected Apple’s desktop OSX software as well, ===> and the company has yet to fix the desktop version of the bug. <===
