SECURITY POSTURE
Apple has faced criticism for its security posture, particularly regarding the timely release of patches for vulnerabilities discovered in its products.
Notable failures
- CVE-2022-32894 (High): Unpatched out-of-bounds write vulnerability leading to arbitrary code execution.
- CVE-2022-32893 (High): Vulnerability to remote code execution via malicious web content.
- CVE-2022-22587 (High): Memory corruption vulnerability allowing arbitrary code execution with kernel privileges.
- CVE-2019-6223 (High): Group FaceTime vulnerability where the call initiator could cause the recipient's device to answer unknowingly.
Patterns: Repeated unpatched vulnerabilities in critical software.; Exploitability of vulnerabilities in the wild before patches are released.
