Apple released iOS 6


Since 8:00 clock (09/21/2012) You can buy the iPhone 5 in Germany, on the iOS6 already pre installed. Owners of the iPhone 3GS, 4 and 4S, the iPad 2 or 3, or the fourth-generation iPod touch can iOS6 free upgrade.
The update to version 6.0 of the operating system iOS is very extensive. There is more than 200 new features, like a new maps app, additional functions for Siri and an extra Passbook can be collected on the boarding passes and tickets and redeemed. In addition to new features and enhancements and the removal of the YouTube app, many vulnerabilities have been stuffed.
The almost 200 CVE numbers describe some even multiple vulnerabilities. Thus, for example, bypassing the password lock, and falsified sender addresses are visiting malicious websites infiltrated malicious programs and run. Most dramatic, however, is published for three years gap, the specific configuration files, concerns during processing. Cybercriminals exploit they can to foist fake system updates to users that are signed with fake certificates from Apple or the network operator. Once a user agrees to install, the attacker has access to the system settings, which they can change at will. At worst, they can insert a proxy in the system and also crack the coded data communication and access data in the Apple iOS device. Attackers can then not only read all messages, but also shop freely at the expense of iOS users in the iTunes Store.
Users of Apple mobile devices should iOS6 quickly install on the iPhone, iPod or iPad, even if the new features are not interested. The installation is done either via the USB cable and iTunes for Windows or Mac OS X or directly on the device via Wi-Fi and "Settings, General, Software Update."
