Apple users, updating to iOS 16.1 and iPadOS 16 will patch this security flaw
As part of iOS 16.1 and iPadOS 16, Apple has released a patch for a zero day kernel vulnerability that could be used by hackers to run malicious codes on devices. The exploits may be in active use, Apple has said. A zero day vulnerability is a software or system vulnerability that gets discovered by hackers and other cybercriminals before the vendor/ developer. The developers may later issue a patch for it to lessen the security risk but till the time it remains unpatched, all the devices using the software are at risk of being under cyberattacks
Apple notes:
“Available for: iPhone 8 and later, iPad Pro (all models), iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 5th generation and later, iPad mini 5th generation and later
