Introduction
When I started my 20% project – an initiative where employees are allocated twenty-percent of their paid work time to pursue personal projects – with Project Zero, I wanted to see if I could apply the techniques I had learned fuzzing Chrome to XNU, the kernel used in iOS and macOS. My interest was sparked after learning some prominent members of the iOS research community believed the kernel was “fuzzed to death,” and my understanding was that most of the top researchers used auditing for vulnerability research. This meant finding new bugs with fuzzing would be meaningful in demonstrating the value of implementing newer fuzzing techniques. In this project, I pursued a somewhat unusual approach to fuzz XNU networking in userland by converting it into a library, “booting” it in userspace and using my standard fuzzing workflow to discover vulnerabilities. Somewhat surprisingly, th
Bug in Apple s Find My Feature Could ve Exposed Users Location Histories
Cybersecurity researchers on Thursday disclosed two distinct design and implementation flaws in Apple s crowdsourced Bluetooth location tracking system that can lead to a location correlation attack and unauthorized access to the location history of the past seven days, thereby by deanonymizing users.
The findings are a consequence of an exhaustive review undertaken by the Open Wireless Link (OWL) project, a team of researchers from the Secure Mobile Networking Lab at the Technical University of Darmstadt, Germany, who have historically taken apart Apple s wireless ecosystem with the goal of identifying security and privacy issues.
