NEW DELHI: Cyber watchdog CERT-In has warned against multiple security-related vulnerabilities in the products and operating systems of Samsung and Apple devices, which could allow hackers to break into them and get access to sensitive information.
CERT-In, which periodically issues advisories about weaknesses in digital products, operating systems and softwares, has issued the alert for users so that they could guard against possible hacks, or update the software on the devices to the latest versions.
“Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Samsung products, that could allow an attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions, access sensitive information, and execute arbitrary code on the targeted system,” CERT-In said in a note on the Korean maker’s products. The vulnerabilities have been noticed in the devices running on particular versions of Android, CERT-In said.
Regarding Apple, the cyber watchdog again had a similar warning. “Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Apple products, which could allow an attacker to access sensitive information, execute arbitrary code, bypass security restrictions, cause denial of service conditions, bypass authentication, gain elevated privileges and perform spoofing attacks on the targeted system,” CERT-In said. Certain versions of the iOS software that were impacted have been deployed on iPhones, Macbooks, Apple Watch, and Apple TV.
