lmao, iMessage again ? zero user interaction needed, again ?!
Well done Apple
It’s literally been 3 days since Android had a vulnerability of this exact nature: remote code execution with zero user interaction required (CVE-2023-35674).
Every piece of software has vulnerabilities lurking within. What matters is the velocity at which vendors address and resolve those vulnerabilities. Apple and Google are both exemplary at getting patches out quickly.
Stop bringing up old news. We're hating on Apple today!
Oops! I forgot to check the schedule.
Remind me why we put up with this again? Formal verification does exist.
Formal Verification doesn't guarantee that the code is free of vulnerability, it just increases confidence in its security. It’s never perfect.
