"AWDL Flaws Open Apple Users to Tracking, MitM, Malware Planting"

It has been discovered that there are vulnerabilities in Apple Wireless Direct Link (AWDL), the wireless protocol that underpins Apple’s AirPlay and AirDrop services.  These vulnerabilities could allow attackers to track users in spite of MAC randomization, to intercept and modify transmitted files, and to prevent transmission or crash devices altogether.  Apple has been notified of these vulnerabilities and has fixed one Denial of Service (DoS) bug, but to address the rest of the vulnerabilities discovered, they have to redesign some of their services.
