Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2012-3749 is an old Apple iOS kernel information leak. A crafted app could receive kernel addresses from extension API responses, weakening ASLR, a key exploit-resistance defense. The issue was fixed in iOS 6.0.1; exposure is mainly unmanaged or legacy devices still below that version. Organizations are likely exposed only if they still operate Apple iOS devices earlier than 6.0.1. The source bundle provides no specific affected models or CPEs, so asset inventory and OS version verification are required. Treat this as a legacy hygiene issue unless affected devices are still in use. Prioritize discovery and retirement of obsolete iOS devices, especially where they access corporate email, VPN, or sensitive applications. Mitigation focus: Update affected iOS devices to iOS 6.0.1 or later.; Check current Apple guidance for devices that cannot update.; Remove or isolate unsupported devices below iOS 6.0.1..
