Apple Fixes ‘AirDoS’ Bug That Cripples Nearby iPhones, iPads

Apple fixed a bug in its file-swapping feature AirDrop, which allows nearby hackers to render iPhones and iPads inoperable. The bug opens the door for a type of denial-of-service attack, allowing an attacker to infinitely spam all nearby iPhones with AirDrop share notifications, according to the researcher who found it. The Apple fix was delivered Tuesday along with dozens of other fixes for everything from Apple Watch, iOS and MacOS. Apple also fixed a bevy of issues with its new versions of iOS and macOS.
