Kernel Exploit Discovered for iOS 12 Beta 12 [Video]

Security researchers at TRUEL IT, an Italian research-driven security firm, have achieved read/write access to kernel memory in iOS 12 beta 12.

Simone Ferrini, a former iOS and firmware developer, demonstrated the accomplishment in a video posted to Twitter on Friday.

Read/write access to the kernel is fundamental to a jailbreak, although there are several other components needed. It's also uncertain that the exploit will still work in the final release of iOS 12.
