Last September 21st we gave the bad news (and the solution) that there was a I fail that allowed access to our camera and contacts from the lock screen even if we had the iPhone protected with Touch ID or code. Yesterday Apple released iOS 9.0.2 with bug fixes and one of the fixes included in the update is precisely for prevent this accessLet us remember that it was possible using the virtual assistant of the iPhone in one of its many steps.
The vulnerability was available since iOS 9.0, so Apple released an update (iOS 9.0.1) without fixing the problem. The only positive point that there are people looking for this type of failure is that those responsible for an operating system know that there is a problem that they will correct in the future. In this case, Apple has taken less than two weeks since the ruling was published.
In the web page of the security content of iOS 9.0.2, Apple details the following:
Fixed in iOS 9.0.2
- Lock Screen. Available for iPhone 4s or later, iPod touch (5th generation) or later, iPad 2 or later. Impact: A person with physical access to an iOS device may be able to access photos and contacts from the lock screen Description: A lock screen issue was allowing access to photos and contacts on a locked device. This problem has been corrected by restricting options offered on a locked device. CVE-ID
CVE-2015-5923
After the release of iOS 9.0.2, Apple stopped signing iOS 9.0 and iOS 8.4.1. It seems that they are convinced that the latest version of their mobile operating system already works well enough and is already secure enough to "invite" us to install and stay in the new version, although I believe that more than one of our readers will not be according to the latter.
Good Pablo. I know that this comment does not paint much here, but it is to tell you that this afternoon I have spoken with very reliable sources close to Apple and they have confirmed that the reservations of the iphone 6S and 6SPlus to pick up in store will be activated on the same day of launch . Between 00 and 08.00 AM on October 9. The specific time is to be confirmed. For home delivery reservations it is expected that they will be activated next Monday 5 or Tuesday 6. A while ago I put this information on Foroiphone and I will provide it here now. If you want you can make news about this, for my pleasure. Greetings.
As they already indicated that security failure was false, since after watching the videos the user used his finger configured in the touch id to access, and if you try to do it with another finger that you do not have registered, it does not work
Hi lizz11pepe. If you click on the link, you see that Apple confirms its existence.
A greeting.
Hi Pablo, how do I activate the 6 character password on my iphone?
Hi Sebastian. In the settings / code you can change it. When you ask for the pin, below you have the «code options».
Thank you!!
Hello Pablo, very good yours
That could be that the dp of downloading 9 and 9.02, the screens close to me
Hello, I have iPhone 4s and I have a problem with the camera, when I start it, it stays stuck and only the front camera works, I already tried changing the camera in a technical service.
Hello camilo. I imagine that you have already restored the iPhone as new. If so, go back to technical service.
What you mention seems like a software failure, that's why I tell you about restoring without recovering a copy before anything else. If you have, they have changed the camera and it remains the same, the problem may be hardware, but not the camera itself, if not the part of the processor that controls it.
A greeting.
my 4s presents a failure with the new 9.0.2, in the space to write a text message a gray stripe appears with the number 0:00 as if I were sending a voice message, I cannot read what I write, only by restarting it disappears, but when you rotate the screen to write more comfortable it returns
My daughter has an iPhone 5s, and after applying 9.0.2 the front camera does not work, someone who has happened to her and correct it ??? !!
I REFER TO THE FRONT CAMERA, AND THE FLASH GIVES A TEMPERATURE ERROR
I have iphone 5s with the same camera problem, it gives temperature problems, and the front camera does not work and the rear camera does not always work
Hi, I downloaded the new update for iPhone and the camera disappeared. Who can help me?
Same situation with the rear camera when installing the update it stopped working and marks an error that the flash temperature is too high, the lamp does not work either. Has someone already solved it? Help!!!
My ihone 4s camera stopped working as well as the flash and it indicates a high flash temperature, there is no image. then I start but with faults and color stripe in the lower part and very slow and the flash started to work. Someone has an idea what may be happening. It has the ios 9.0.2. I already restored but not again,
There are many users with the same camera problem and the truth is they never explain or give a solution, where I am from there is no technical service for Apple, we just kill ourselves trying to google and find a solution
