These are also called zero-day vulnerabilities, which are actively exploited in attacks. These important security updates are also available for iPhone, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesglobal.co.uk\/laptop-battery\/Apple\">Mac<\/a>, and iPad starting today. The iPhone maker said the first bug used web processing to \u201cdisclose sensitive information,\u201d and the second bug used web processing to allow arbitrary code execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apple is also working on iOS 17.2, which is about to release within the next month. This update adds a new Journal app and makes some major improvements to the Music app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Is WebKit And Reason Behind The Update<\/strong><br>These particular bugs were discovered in a web browser engine called WebKit used in Apple\u2019s devices. By tricking a user into visiting a malicious website, an attacker could access sensitive information or execute malicious code on a vulnerable device. Apple acknowledges that this issue may have been exploited in iOS versions prior to iOS 16.7.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address these security issues, Apple has released an emergency update for devices running iOS 17.1.2, macOS Sonoma 14.1.2, Safari 17.1.2 and <strong>iPadOS 17. 1.2<\/strong>,. Apple updates are now available for iPhone, iPad, and macOS. These updates contain patches for critical vulnerabilities, so it\u2019s important to update affected devices as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are no new features in these security updates. Go to Settings > General > Software Update and tap the Start button to immediately update your iPhone or<a href=\"https:\/\/www.batteriesglobal.co.uk\/tablet-battery\/Apple\"> iPad<\/a>. On Mac, go to System Preferences > General > Software Update and repeat this process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apple took urgent action and released iOS 17.1.2 and macOS Sonoma 14.1.2 with security updates to address two critical security vulnerabilities.
