iPhone DoS attack vulnerability exposed
| A security firm has recently discovered a DoS (Denial of Service) vulnerability in the iPhone’s latest firmware- 1.1.4. The firm, Radware, reports that the iPhone is vulnerable to such attacks because of a design flaw that are caused by a repetition of memory allocation operations in the OS’s dynamic memory pool. Itzik Kotler, security operation center manager at Radware, explained, “While vendors are struggling to push new products and applications, it is evident that security still remains a secondary concern. Hackers continue to misappropriate other people’s software and their job is made easier by design flaws embedded into software products.” (HITB) |
