Apple Security Patches
By SecureMac.com
Apple has issued a few updates for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. And although this is just a “minor” round of updates, the potential security impact is fairly significant.
iOS 15.6.1, iPadOS 15.6.1, and macOS Monterey 12.5.1 all address the same two CVE vulnerabilities. The first is a kernel issue that could lead to arbitrary code execution; the second, a WebKit flaw that can allow the same thing to happen.
Apple says that they are “aware of” reports that the issues may have been exploited in the wild — which probably means it’s already happening, reading between the lines a bit.
As always, when there’s a security patch like this, you should update all relevant devices right away.
