Hum...

In this sentence: "For people who think that there is far more CVE on iOS than Android", when did I speaked about evaluating a security of a platform based on CVE? When?

I was only discussing about the fact that iOS does not have more CVE than Android, based on other discussions on this thread...

I am sorry if this message is mean but... did you read my comment at least?



Just like nobody explicitly said that iOS has more CVEs?


Read the comment just before please...


No, I did, although I should apologize for the slightly snarky response. I think your original comment was a valuable one, as it did bring up an interesting point that Android sees more CVEs than iOS does. However, I think the point is even more fundamental: counting the number of bugs on a list is not a great way of showing a platform is secure/insecure, although many people may believe so, just like they may look at this list and think "gee, iOS is so full of bugs it must be worse than Android!" Really, the point of this blog post was just a compilation of methods that achieve arbitrary code execution in the kernel based on how they did so and which iOS versions they apply to, instead of being some sort of comparison between operating systems.
