 |  How Apple kept a zero day iOS vulnerability secret for six months Issued a fix which did not work Apple gamed Google’s Project Zero team into sitting on a kernel exploit in Apple’s Apple’s OSX and it’s mobile operating system iOS for months. The bug was serious. It allowed for root-level escalation of privileges for an attacker and it was reported to Jobs’ Mob in June by PZ member Ian Beer. Apple asked for 60 days to fix the problem before it went public. Apparently, that was the length of time it took Apple’s auditors to counsel those who believed that the software was perfect and there could be nothing wrong with it. http://fudzilla.com/news/41982-how-a...for-six-months |
