security research company, Skycure<\/a> that you should know about.<\/p>\nThis bug is exploited by means of just a WiFi connection and will put your iOS device into a never-ending bootloop\u00a0for as long as you are in range of the malicious WiFi connection. -nice going, Apple-<\/p>\n
«It puts the victim\u2019s device in an unusable state for as long as the attack impacts a device. Even if victims understand that the attack comes from a Wi-Fi network, they can\u2019t disable the Wi-Fi interface<\/i> in the repeated restart state.» -Skycure<\/p>\n
Attackers can fairly easily weaponize a WiFi network through use of a modified SSH certificate which, when your iOS device attempts to parse it, starts the bootloop.<\/p>\n
So, the only way that iOS device owners would be able to stop the bootloop would be to get out of range of the malicios WiFi network.<\/p>\n
How To\u00a0Protect Against The No iOS Zone<\/h2>\n
Below, you’ll find the advise that the original discoveres of the vulnerability have given for avoiding the problem alltogether.<\/p>\n
1. In general, everyone should be avoiding connecting to any suspicious \u201cFREE\u201d Wi-Fi network.<\/p>\n
2. Update your iOS device to 8.1.3, as the attack is sometimes not as effective on this version.<\/p>\n
3. If you are able to get to the WiFi settings toggle before the next crash, try to disconnect from the WiFi network or just turn your phone to airplane mode altogether.<\/p>\n
Ultimately Apple are the ones that need\u00a0to come up with a fix quickly, and as of the time of this posting, they have yet to disclose when this will be patched.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
