The bug within iOS 11.2 permitted unauthorised remote control of HomeKit-enabled devices. Such devices include smart lights, plugs and other gadgets, but also includes smart locks and garage door openers. An Apple spokesperson said: “The issue affecting HomeKit users running iOS 11.2 has been fixed. The security bug is just the latest in a series of issues affecting Apple’s software on both its iPhone and Mac computers. The company rushed out a fix for the security bug, which then broke the file sharing system, which itself needed fixing in a later software update.
