MediumMetricsAV:P/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
iOS versions prior to 10
Description
The issue involves the
Springboard component and allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information by viewing application snapshots in the "Task Switcher". This is related to a lack of protection for service data, which can be exploited by a local attacker to gain confidential information.Recommendations
For iOS versions prior to 10, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the Task Switcher or disabling the
Springboard component until a fix is available.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
