Apple confirms the vulnerability of iPhones and iPad tablets, as well as Intel-equipped Mac computers, in front of Meltdown and Specter exploits. The company's representatives say that no attacks based on them have yet been detected.
By addressing a hardware-based design error, even in the heart of the system processor, Meltdown is an extremely valuable asset for any hacker, and its operation is not conditioned by software vulnerability. Addressing the processor directly from the system without interacting with other software features, Meltdown can steal real-time sensitive data processed by other applications, the attack being completely invisible for security solutions installed and no traceable traces later.
Apple has already announced patches that block the Meltdown exploit on devices equipped with iOS 11.2, macOS 10.13.2 and tvOS 11.2. Apple Watch devices are already shielded from it, their configuration not including Intel processors.
The company states that the remedies offered do not bring measurable decreases in performance.
