Apple Patches Flipper Zero's iPhone Exploits
Apple has released iOS 17.2 with safeguards to prevent Flipper Zero devices from causing denial of service (DoS) loops on nearby iPhones and iPads. The open-source pen-testing tool, when modified with third-party firmware, could overwhelm devices with Bluetooth connection notifications, causing them to freeze and reboot. The new iOS update likely includes a request timeout to mitigate this exploit.
