In June of this year, many iOS device users complained about the Wi-Fi module becoming a brick problem. After some inspections, it is generally believed that this is related to the wireless SSID name resolution bug of Apple’s mobile operating system. Fortunately, in iOS 14.7 and iPadOS 14.7, the Cupertino technology giant finally officially completed the repair of the problem.
In addition to iOS 14.7, Apple also confirmed that other software updates recently released have fixed major defects related to the Wi-Fi name exposed in June, as well as other bugs and vulnerabilities. According to the recent security update page, Apple released iOS 14.7 on July 19 and released it on Wednesday.
The company added the latest batch of software to its security update page, detailing errors and security vulnerabilities in update compression. Apple released iOS 14.7 on July 19 (Monday), and released iPad OS 14.7 two days later.
The fix list mentioned a serious bug encountered by iOS devices-when joining a wireless network with a specific SSID name, the problem may cause the device’s Wi-Fi function to be disabled. In some serious cases, users even need to be forced to restore factory settings to solve the problem. The good news is that after a round of beta testing, the fix has been pushed to all devices that support iOS 14.7/iPadOS 14.7.
The company added that the defect may result in rejection of service or arbitrary code execution, and it has passed improvement checks to implement repairs. Finally, the iOS 14.7/iPad OS software update also fixes some issues related to the kernel, ImageIO, WebKit, etc. Therefore, Apple recommends that users obtain and install the update as soon as possible.
As for the recently exposed zero-day exploit of NSO Group’s spyware, Apple has not stated its position, and it is expected that it will take some time to wait for the relevant fix.
