http://cdn.macrumors.com/article-new/2016/04/iphone_4s_2015-250x300.jpgOn April 14, the FBI informed Apple of a security flaw in older versions of iOS and OS X, its first vulnerability disclosure to Apple under the Vulnerability Equities Process, reports Reuters (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-apple-encryption-fbi-disclosure-idUSKCN0XO00T), citing information obtained directly from the Cuperti** company.
The Vulnerability Equities Process allows federal agencies to determine whether critical security flaws should be kept private for law enforcement use or disclosed to companies to allow them to ***** major vulnerabilities.
The security flaw the FBI shared with Apple pertained to older versions of the iPhone and Mac and it was fixed with the release of iOS 9 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-9/) and OS X El Capitan (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/os-x-10-11/). It was **t the vulnerability that was exploited to break into the iPhone 5c used by San Bernardi** shooter Syed Farook, which remains under wraps.
Apple says 80 percent of iPhones run a safe version of iOS and are **t vulnerable to the security flaw shared by the FBI. Apple told Reuters it does **t have plans to issue a ***** for the older, vulnerable software.
According to Reuters, the FBI was motivated to provide Apple with information on an older vulnerability following a report suggesting it would **t use the Vulnerability Equities Process to provide Apple with the method used to hack the San Bernardi** iPhone.The day after that report, the FBI offered information about the older vulnerabilities to Apple. The move may have been an effort to show that it can and does use the White House process and disclose hacking methods when it can.
The flaw the FBI disclosed to Apple this month did **thing to change the company's perception that the White House process is less effective than has been claimed, said an Apple executive who declined to be named.Earlier today, a report from The Wall Street Journal suggested the FBI has decided **t to disclose (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/04/26/fbi-to-keep-iphone-hacking-method-secret/) the vulnerability used to access the San Bernardi** iPhone. FBI Director James Comey has insinuated the FBI can**t provide details on the hacking method used on the iPhone because the security flaw exploited is owned by a private company.
