As usual, Apple is following the protocol to stop signing the oldest versions of iOS and for several hours, the Cupertino-based company I have stopped signing iOS 14.8 making it impossible for users who have upgraded to iOS 15 to go back to iOS 14.
It seems that Apple you are phasing out iOS 14.8 signing on your devices. While it is impossible to downgrade to iOS 14.8 on the iPhone X, iPhone XR, and iPad Air 3, it is still possible to downgrade to other newer devices, although that may change at the time of publication of this article.
That Apple has stopped signing iOS 14.8 does not mean that you have forgotten these devicesSince if a major security flaw is detected, users who have not updated their devices (this year Apple has changed its rules and the update is optional) will continue to receive security updates.
The last update Apple released from iOS 14 was version 14.8, a version that corrected an important zero day vulnerability that bypassed Apple's BlastDoor security system.
BlastDoor is a security system that launched with iOS 14, a sandbox mode that protects the Messages app from the rest of iOS. Although all iOS apps were sandboxed by default, BlastDoor adds an extra layer of protection to Apple's Messages app.
Apple's Messages app has been used in the past to perform multiple attacks Because according to security researchers, the application did not properly isolate incoming user data, allowing hackers to take control of the iPhone just by sending a text or photo message to the device.
