The power adapter security vulnerability in IOS 7 is about to be repaired

&http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37954.html ">nbsp; According to foreign media reports, Apple announced in Wednesday that the company will be the next version of the mobile operating system, iOS 7 system to repair the previous version of the software power adapter security vulnerabilities.

In theory, malware can use a security flaw in the iOS 6 system to upload to iOS devices via a malicious USB charger.     The vulnerability was discovered by 3 researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Cato of Marvell), who described the invasion as "Mactrans" and conducted a live demo at the Las Vegas Black Hat security conference.     The 3 researchers announced in June that they had developed a proof-of-concept method that showed how to hack the mobile device running the latest version of the iOS system via a malicious iphone charger, which was completed in less than 1 minutes, and did not require intrusive mobile devices to escape. Apple's representative told the media that the latest beta version of iOS 7 had fixed the vulnerability. "We thank the researchers for their valuable information," said Apple spokeswoman Thomnoy Maire Tom Neumayr.     "The 3 researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have spent a week and about 45 dollars on a custom charger that includes a Linux based microcomputer program that can launch attacks on iOS devices," he said. A researcher named Billy Lau said that malware uploaded to iOS devices could steal user passwords and sensitive financial information, as well as communications records and device location information. He said: "It can become a eavesdropping tool." "This loophole will not affect Android devices, because the Android operating system will send a warning message to the user when the Android device is connected to the computer," said Billy Liu.
