A patched iOS vulnerability can be exploited to allow malicious apps to bypass background restrictions and exploit Apple devices. FireEye researchers published a report on the vulnerability they’re calling Ins0mnia. The flaw bypasses restrictions imposed by Apple in iOS that limit how long an application is allowed to run in the background before it s automatically suspended. A malicious app targeting this vulnerability can run on non-jailbroken iPhones and iPads, FireEye said. The researchers said the key was tricking the Apple device into thinking the app was being debugged.
