Apple brings software updates for iOS, iPadOS to fix 2 vulnerabilities

Apple has released new software updates for iPhones, iPads and Macs to fix two security vulnerabilities known by the tech giant to be actively exploited by attackers.

The two vulnerabilities were found in WebKit, the browser engine that powers Safari and other apps, and the kernel, essentially the operating system’s core. The two flaws affect iOS, iPadOS and macOS Monterey, report TechCrunch.

The tech giant said the WebKit bug could be exploited if a vulnerable device accessed or processed “maliciously crafted web content (that) may lead to arbitrary code execution”.
