Finding Vulnerabilities in <strong>the</strong> <strong>i<strong>OS</strong></strong> <strong>Kernel</strong> (II)<br />
• because <strong>i<strong>OS</strong></strong> is also XNU based <strong>the</strong> public source is partly useable<br />
• however <strong>the</strong> kernel of <strong>OS</strong> X and <strong>i<strong>OS</strong></strong> are very out of sync<br />
• kernel vulnerabilities that are only interesting for <strong>i<strong>OS</strong></strong> are not fixed in <strong>OS</strong> X<br />
• auditing XNU will reveal a bunch of vulnerabilities already fixed in <strong>i<strong>OS</strong></strong><br />
• interesting parts like <strong>the</strong> ASLR are not yet in any public XNU release<br />
