How Apple Wi-Fi Positioning System can be abused to track people around the globe
Academics have suggested that Apple's Wi-Fi Positioning System (WPS) can be abused to create a global privacy nightmare. In a paper titled, "Surveilling the Masses with Wi-Fi-Based Positioning Systems," Erik Rye, a PhD student at the University of Maryland (UMD) in the US, and Dave Levin, associate professor at UMD, describe how the design of Apple's WPS facilitates mass surveillance, even of those not using Apple devices.
Zero Day Initiative — CVE-2022-23088: Exploiting a Heap Overflow in the FreeBSD Wi-Fi Stack
In April of this year, FreeBSD patched a 13-year-old heap overflow in the Wi-Fi stack that could allow network-adjacent attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of FreeBSD Kernel. This bug was originally reported to the ZDI program by a researcher known as m00nbsd and patched in
