Apple’s devices using M2, A15, M3 and A17 chips were detected in safety vulnerabilities that could lead to the stolen of user data over browsers. Researchers warn that these deficits can be abused by terrible targeted persons.
Researchers from Georgia Institute of Technology and Ruhr University Bochum discovered two vulnerabilities, Flop and Slap. The possibility of abuse of security deficits by individuals who are intended to be makûs through browsers is the subject of the word.
Two new security deficits were detected
It turned out that the security deficits were due to the “speculative execution” mechanism used by processors to increase performance. This technique allows the processor to carry out a number of processes and execute the assumption mistakes, leading to security deficits. Researchers, especially in the M3 and A17 chips, processors have begun to predict the information costs from the priority. However, when these claims are wrong, the processor can perform unauthorized processes by making processes with defective data.
Although the security deficits can be exploited in the real world, the researchers say that these deficits can be used by individuals with intentioned intent. It can play the personal data of users by using these deficits through Ziyanlı websites containing Javascript.
Researchers announced that they have forwarded their findings to Apple. In March, the company confirmed the SLAP and FLOP security vulnerabilities in September and announced that it was working on a correction for these deficits. Apple said that the Legs of Kalam do not pose a significant threat, so he said that he did not plan to publish a fast patch.
