What do we think the fix is on the iOS 17?
If it were me, knowing nothing about the inner details of iOS, I would apply some kind of rate limit or throttling on incoming BT connections and allow the user to ignore repeated incoming connections. It would be not unlike trying to download multiple files from the same website, which usually triggers a "do you want to allow $site to download multiple files?" prompt.
Maybe I'm naïve, but this seems trivial to prevent.
- kevincox 3y agoYeah, it seems easy to fix. It is just that no one thought to do it yet. A rate-limit will turn a serious DoS (device crashes) to a very minor DoS (may struggle to pair a new device or get notifications from nearby devices).
