Revision as of 00:08, 29 July 2014
The kernel of iOS is the XNU kernel. Pre-2.0, it was vulnerable to the Ramdisk Hack and may still be, but iBoot doesn't allow boot-args to be passed anymore. It is mapped to memory at 0x80000000, forcing a 2/2GB address separation, similar to Windows 32-bit model. On older iOS versions the separation was 3/1 (mapping the kernel at 0xC0000000), closer to the Linux model.
Note, that this is NOT like 32-bit OS X, wherein the kernel resides in its own address space, but more like OS X 64-bit, wherein CR3 is shared (albeit an address space larger by several orders of magnitude). See the appropriate section
Contents
ASLR
- Main article: Kernel ASLR
As of iOS 6, the kernel is subject to ASLR, much akin to Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8). This make exploitation harder as the location of kernel code cannot be known.
On production and development devices, the kernel is always stored as a statically linked cache stored at /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches/kernelcache that is decompressed and run on startup.
Stack
The kernel maintains thread specific stacks by calling kernel_memory_allocate, this allocates stacks in the specified kalloc zone. The bootstrap thread has its own specific static kernel stack, which is specified by _intstack. IRQ and FIQ handlers will also have their own execution stack which is specified by _irqstack.
Boot-Args
Like its OS X counterpart, iOS's XNU accepts command line arguments (though the actual passing of arguments is done by iBoot, which as of late refuses to do so). Arguments may be directed at the kernel proper, or any one of the many KExts (discussed below). The arguments of the kernel are largely the same as those of OS X.
Kexts use boot-args as well, as can be seen when disassembly by calls to PE_parse_boot_argn (usually exported, _PE_parse_boot_argn 8027A8EC on the iOS 6.1.3 kernel, discovered by Haifisch). Finding references (using IDA) reveals hundreds places in the code wherein arguments are parsed in modules, pertaining to Flash, HDMI, and AMFI.
Here's a list of boot-args extracted with the IDA script by MuscleNerd:

Versions
iOS has consistently maintained a higher kernel version than the corresponding version of OS X. At the time of writing, OS X Mavericks' XNU is 2422, whereas iOS is 2423. This is not surprising, considering that iOS has novel features (such as Kernel ASLR, the default freezer, and various security hardening features) which are first incorporated in it, and only later make it to OS X. The following demonstrates the two OS versions at present:
OS X Mavericks 10.9.3:
Darwin Kernel Version 13.2.0: Thu Apr 17 23:03:13 PDT 2014; root:xnu-2422.100.13~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
iOS 7.1.2:
Darwin Kernel Version 14.0.0: Thu May 15 23:10:37 PDT 2014; root:xnu-2423.10.71~1/RELEASE_ARM_S5L8950X
Note: The RELEASE_ARM_xxxxxxxx file obviously differs on device / CPU and the time varies by a few minutes per device.
Version List
The compilation date for each version will vary slightly between processors. This is due to the fact that compilations are sequential.

Source Code
As XNU is based off of the BSD kernel, it is open source. The source is under a 3-clause BSD License for the original BSD portions with the portions added by Apple under the Apple Public Source License. The versions contained in iOS are not available, instead only versions used in OS X are available. This does not appear to be legal as per §2.3 in the APSL:
2.3 Distribution of Executable Versions. In addition, if You Externally Deploy Covered Code (Original Code and/or Modifications) in object code, executable form only, You must include a prominent notice, in the code itself as well as in related documentation, stating that Source Code of the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License with information on how and where to obtain such Source Code.
with Source Code defined in §1.8:
1.8 "Source Code" means the human readable form of a program or other work that is suitable for making modifications to it, including all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, scripts used to control compilation and installation of an executable (object code).
It is worth noting that Apple does not list XNU as being an open source component of iOS. This can be seen by viewing opensource.apple.com and selecting any iOS version. As far as can be told, none of the versions of XNU are available in source version.
There are many other open souce components that iOS uses that are not listed, such as:
- CF (CoreFoundation - Cocoa)
- SQLite (SQLite - database utility)
- TimeZoneData (tz database - /usr/share/zoneinfo)
- curl(?) (libcurl - various HTTP operations)
- hfs (hfs - HFS driver)
- launchd (launchd - launch daemon)
- libxml2(?) (libxml2 - parser for XML plists)
- xnu (XNU - Kernel)
- zip (zip - extraction of various files)
It does not appear that Apple assumes what you see in the OS X pages are also on iOS as JavaScriptCore, WebCore, among others are listed on both OS X (10.8) and iOS (6.0), albeit different versions.
It is also worth noting that gdb (GCC debugger) and ld64 are listed as components in iOS 6.0. Why there are present is a mystery as they are not present on unaltered devices, but only through Cydia or Xcode's DeveloperImage.dmg
.
Kernel Extensions
iOS, sadly, does not have kexts floating around the file system, but they are indeed present. The kernelcache can be unpacked to show the kernel proper, along with the kexts (all packed in the __PRELINK_TEXT section) and their plists (in the __PRELINK_INFO section).
The Cydia supplied kextstat does not work on iOS. Sadly, the reason is that kextstat relies on kmod_get_info(...)
, which is a deprecated (and recently removed) API in recent iOS and OS X versions. With that said, the kexts do exist. The alternative, jkextstat, does work on recent iOS versions. jkextstat can cause some confusion as it uses the executable name kextstat
, similar to how calling g++
just launches gcc
but with parameters to treat all .c
files as C++ files.
The following is the output from jkextstat on an iPod touch 4G running iOS 6(?):

It's also worth mentioning that, in the above listing, the OSBundleMachOHeaders (base-64 encoded binary headers) leak kernel addresses in iOS 6.0, defeating Kernel ASLR. This has been quickly fixed in iOS 6.0.1, effectively locking down iOS for the foreseeable future, thanks to security researcher mdowd.
