Researchers at Google found they were able to make changes to a mounted filesystem without the user or filesystem being aware. To do so, they made use of an issue with MacOS’ copy-on-write protection. For the unfamiliar, copy-on-write defines how a device manages memory. For efficiency reasons, some programs store data on a user’s hard drive rather than keeping it in memory, called the pagefile in Windows. Naturally, there have to be protections alongside this, and it seems Apple has overlooked mounted file systems....
