Apple has addressed three new zero-day vulnerabilities exploited in attacks to hack into iPhones, Macs, and iPads.

The next post in our XNU memory safety series examines how our hardened kernel allocator performs in the real world against a previously patched but powerful UAF software vulnerability. In this detailed analysis, we find out what might happen if SockPuppet were to meet kalloc_type in iOS 16.

Apple has fixed the three exploits used to deploy the Pegasus spyware, which did not require any interaction from the target.

Microsoft analyzes a threat group tracked as DEV-0196, the actor’s iOS malware “KingsPawn”, and their link to an Israel-based private sector offensive actor (PSOA) known as QuaDream, which reportedly sells a suite of exploits, malware, and infrastructure called REIGN, that’s designed to exfiltrate data from mobile devices.

Here are two proof-of-concepts for CVE-2022-26766 (CoreTrust allows any root certificate) and CVE-2022-26763 (IOPCIDevice::_MemoryAccess not checking bounds at all), two issues discovered by @LinusHenze and patched in macOS 12.4 / iOS 15.5.

Lockdown Mode is a new Apple feature you should hope you’ll never need to use. But for those who do, like journalists, politicians, lawyers and human rights defenders, it’s a last line of defense against nation-state spyware designed to punch through an iPhone’s protections.

Although this looks like the real My Vodafone carrier app available in the App Store, it didn't come from the App Store and is not the real application from Vodafone.

Confiant monitors 2.5+ billion ads per day via 110+ integrations in the advertising stack. This provides great visibility on malicious activity infiltrating the ad stack and the broader Internet. And that includes all the web3 malicious activity funneling thru it.

The variety and the range of our detection enable Confiant to detect unique malicious activity as soon as it surfaces.

SeaFlower is an example of this unique cluster of malicious activities targeting web3 wallet users that we will document in this blog post.
