Apple test iOS upgrade package

Computer store news: According to David · David Wang, one of the developers of iOS jailbreak software Evasi0n, last weekend, Apple released a &beta of iOS 6.1.3 to developers; Version that prevents users from using Evasi0n. David · Wang tested iOS 6.1.3 over the weekend.

David · Wang said that he tested iOS 6.1.3 β2 and found that iOS 6.1.3 β2 fixes one of the five defects used by Evasi0n, namely the clock setting. A flaw in the function. When Apple releases iOS 6.1.3 to users, Evasi0n will “end to sleep”, “as long as one defect is corrected, Evasi0n will not work properly. We can replace this defect with different defects, but after the official release of iOS 6.1.3, Apple may fix most of the defects used by Evasi0n.

Evasi0n quickly became the hottest iOS jailbreak tool when it was released online earlier this month, as users have used it to jailbreak the iPhone 5 and other Apple models recently released. Four days after the release, the iOS device that escaped with Evasi0n reached 7 million units.

Despite this, Apple did not stop Evasi0n in time. Evasi0n has been released for 3 weeks, and Apple has not corrected the exploits that have been exploited. In 2011, 9 days after the release of Jailbreakme 3.0, the jailbreak tool for iPhone 4, Microsoft released the patch.

Part of the reason Apple didn't respond to Evasi0n was that the security threat from Evasi0n was small. Evasi0n requires users to connect iOS devices to their PCs via a USB cable, making it difficult for hackers to remotely install malware on their iOS devices with Evasi0n.

Security researchers point out that Evasi0n may give cybercriminals access to "inspiration". Evasi0n takes advantage of 5 bugs in iOS. Security firm F-Secure researcher Mico · Mikko Hypponen said that hackers can first infect PCs, waiting for users to connect their iPhone or iPad to a PC and control their devices.

David · Wang pointed out that the jailbreak tool development organization named evad3rs has found enough flaws in iOS to develop new jailbreak tools even if the current exploits are all fixed.
