CVE-2015-1064: Springboard in Apple iOS before 8.2 allows physically proximate attackers to bypass an intended activation...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old iOS activation-screen bypass. Someone with physical access to a device running iOS before 8.2 could leverage an activation-process crash to view the home screen. It is primarily a local privacy and device-control issue, not a remote compromise. Exposure is limited to Apple iOS devices running versions before 8.2, especially old, unpatched, unmanaged, refurbished, or lab devices. Modern managed fleets are unlikely to be exposed if obsolete iOS versions are retired. Treat this as a legacy-device hygiene issue. It is not a current remote-compromise signal, but any remaining pre-8.2 iOS devices should be updated or retired because physical access could expose home-screen information. Mitigation focus: Update affected iOS devices to iOS 8.2 or later where supported.; Retire devices that cannot run a fixed iOS version.; Use MDM inventory to find and isolate obsolete iOS devices..
