Besides fixing an actively exploited zero-day vulnerability, the latest update for the iOS 17 branch offers a new feature to help you protect your accounts and sensitive information in case your iPhone gets stolen. If enabled, the Stolen Device Protection feature makes it difficult for iPhone thieves to switch certain features on or off and perform certain actions if your iPhone is not at a familiar location such as your home or work place.
Apple has fixed an actively exploited zero-day vulnerability that affects Macs, iPhones, iPads and AppleTVs. CVE-2024-23222 is a type confusion issue that affects WebKit - Apple's browser engine used in the Safari web browser and all iOS and iPadOS web browsers.
Apple on Monday released security updates for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and Safari web browser to address a zero-day flaw that has come under active exploitation in the wild. The issue, tracked as...
Apple released security updates to address this year's first zero-day vulnerability exploited in attacks that could impact iPhones, Macs, and Apple TVs. The zero-day fixed today is tracked as CVE-2024-23222 and is a WebKit confusion issue that attackers could exploit to gain code execution on targeted devices. "Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been exploited," Apple said today.
Researchers at cybersecurity research and consulting firm Trail of Bits have discovered a vulnerability that could allow attackers to read GPU local memory from affected Apple, Qualcomm, AMD and Imagination GPUs. In particular, the vulnerability-which the researchers named LeftoverLocals-can access conversations performed with large language models and machine learning models on affected GPUs.

Research made public on Tuesday detailed how miscreants can exploit the hole to read data they're not supposed to in a system's local GPU memory. While the flaw potentially affects all GPU applications on vulnerable chips, it is especially concerning for those processing machine-learning applications because of the amount of data these models process using GPUs, and therefore the amount of potentially sensitive information that could be swiped by exploiting this issue.
A new vulnerability dubbed 'LeftoverLocals' affecting graphics processing units from AMD, Apple, Qualcomm, and Imagination Technologies allows retrieving data from the local memory space. [...]
Protestors reportedly used AirDrop to share anti-government material during China's long and strict COVID-19 lockdowns. Which is why Chinese authorities last week admitted that the use of AirDrop is considered problematic after police previously found inappropriate material being shared on the Beijing subway using the protocol.
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added six security flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation. This...
