Although Apple cannot help but mention the issue of security while introducing its new devices, after a while, Apple products can also get their share of viruses. Apple M1 is a chip that carries important improvements in security as well as performance. However Apple M1 discovered in a chip security bugIt retains the power to jostle with your data, breaking down Apple’s latest firewall, too.
took place this week WWDC 2022 At the event, we met the Apple M2 chip and again, security developments were mentioned. Although the whole world has not yet had the opportunity to meet the new generation, this vulnerability also raises concerns about the Apple M2. The biggest problem is that it cannot be fixed with a software update.
Apple M1 faces PACMAN vulnerability
The M1 chip, which introduced the Mac family to Apple silicon, was successful in many ways. Although the M1, which is still frequently preferred in the current Mac portfolio, is the pioneer of important innovations in security, we can say that it has exploded on one issue. newly discovered PACMAN The virus can make any changes in the system by deceiving the last firewalls of the chip.
Thanking TechCrunch for announcing this vulnerability, Apple made the following statement:
“We want to thank the researchers for their collaboration as this proof-of-concept improves our understanding of these techniques.” Said. “Based on our analysis and the details shared with us by the researchers, we concluded that this issue does not pose an immediate risk to our users and is insufficient on its own to bypass operating system security protections.”
