MetricsAV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apple iOS versions prior to 9
Description The issue is related to a lack of protection for system data in the CoreAnimation component of the iOS operating system. This can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted background application to gain access to the clipboard. The exploitation allows attackers to bypass intended IOSurface restrictions and obtain screen-framebuffer access.
Recommendations For Apple iOS versions prior to 9, update to a version 9 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of background applications to minimize the risk of exploitation.
