Apples M1 and A14 Chips have an unfixable security flaw, but you need not worry too much about it

ARM-based M1 Chip, the first Apple-designed SoC developed for Macs and the iPad Pro, has a security vulnerability that allows two applications to covertly exchange data between them without going through proper channels. The vulnerability was accidentally spotted by a developer, Hector Martin, while he was working on porting Linux to the M1. He says that the flaw exists at the hardware level and can not be fixed by a software update. Apple was notified of the issue 90-days prior to the developer making the issue public and has already acknowledged it. 

Hector, however, notes that this flaw isn’t something users need to worry about. 

Here’s how the developer describes it: 

“A flaw in the design of the Apple Silicon “M1” chip allows any two applications running under an OS to covertly exchange data between them, without using memory, sockets, files, or any other normal operating system features. This works between processes running as different users and under different privilege levels, creating a covert channel for surreptitious data exchange.

The vulnerability is baked into Apple Silicon chips, and cannot be fixed without a new silicon revision.”

Users need not worry

The cause appears to be Apple violating an AMR specification requirement. At worst the flaw can be exploited by advertising companies for cross-app tracking. Users don’t have to really worry about malware exploiting this to take over their devices or steal their data. 

Martin also has a proof-of-concept video on his website that demonstrates that the covert channel can be used to transfer enough data to stream a video in real-time with few or no glitches. 

The flaw also affects iPhone 12 series that’s powered by A14 Bionic, since both the A14 and M1 are based on the same micro-architecture. The flaw is also expected to affect the next generation M1X chip that will reportedly be used in the upcoming MacBook Pro. It’s likely to get fixed in the iteration following that.

— Abhijeet Andhare (@GHATAK_official) May 25, 2021

As per previous rumours, Battlegrounds Mobile India could launch on June 10 or June 18 but there is no official word yet. Recently, Former Union Minister and current Arunachal Pradesh MLA, Ninong Ering, wrote to Prime Minister Modi asking for a ban on the upcoming mobile game in India. The minister’s letter states that it is “the relaunch of PUBG Mobile” and cites several reasons to call for a ban on Battlegrounds Mobile India. 

That being said, Krafton should not face any issues in launching the game as long as they are in line with the regulations in India. The hype surrounding Battlegrounds Mobile India is huge right now as players now have a glimmer of hope that they will be able to play a version of PUBG Mobile after it was banned by the government in 2020.

Battlegrounds Mobile India has also released a teaser video featuring actor Arshad Warsi and three popular players, Aaditya ‘Dynamo’ Sawant, Jonathan Amaral, and Chetan ‘Kronten’ Chandgude.

While announcing Battlegrounds Mobile India, Krafton revealed that the game will have exclusive in-game events like outfits and other such features. The developers also revealed that the game will power its own esports ecosystem in India with tournament and league matches with big prize pools. They will also collaborate with partners to boost the esports scene in India and will bring exclusive in-game content that will be India-centric.

Netgear Orbi RBK852 Wi-Fi 6 Mesh router system launched in India: Price and details

Netgear has launched Wi-Fi 6 enabled Tri-band Orbi RBK852 mesh router system in India. This is a slightly more affordable option as compared to Orbi RBK853 that was introduced in December last year. That’s because the number of satellite nodes has been reduced from two to one. 

Consequentially, the coverage area reduces from 7500 sq. ft. to 5000 sq. ft. However, since this is a mesh system, users have the option to separately add extra 'satellites' or nodes to cover dead zones should the need arise in the future. The Orbi RBK852 can be easily set up using the Orbi app available for both Android and iOS. It also integrates support for both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. 

Netgear Orbi RBK852 Wi-Fi system (AX6000): Price and Availability

Netgear Orbi RBK852 mesh Wi-Fi system comes with two units - RBR850 Wi-Fi 6 router and RBS850 satellite. It can be purchased from Netgear e-store and other partner e-commerce websites for a price of Rs 61,999. As an introductory offer, it comes bundled with a Netgear Armor anti-virus subscription. Add-on RBS850 satellites can be purchased for Rs 33,999 each. 

Netgear Orbi RBK852 Wi-Fi system (AX6000): Specifications 

Both the router and satellite measure 10x2.8x7.5-inches in dimensions and can together cover an area of 5000 sq. ft. The router is powered by a 2.2Ghz quad-core processor with 512MB NAND flash and 1GB RAM. 

As mentioned earlier, the Orbi RBK852 has a tri-band router with 2.4Ghz (2400Mbps+) and 5GHz (2400Mbps+) bands for internet connectivity and a 5GHz (1200Mbps+) dedicated WiFi link for faster data connections between Orbi Router and Orbi Satellite. 

There are eight antennas onboard and the router supports implicit & Explicit Beamforming for 2.4GHz & 5GHz bands, MU-MIMO capable for simultaneous data streaming to multiple devices. Users can stream multiple 8K and 4K resolution videos at up to 6Gbps. The Wi-Fi system supports up to 100 connected devices. 

The router includes a 2.5 Gbps WAN port and 4 LAN Gigabit Ethernet ports. The satellite has 4 LAN Gigabit Ethernet ports.
