According to the latest report, recently, we shared an article in which we mentioned that Apple soon rolled out iOS 16.4.1 update and now the official update is here. Apple released the iOS/iPadOS 16.4.1 and macOS 13.3.1 that fixed 2 HIGH Vulnerabilities.
We do not post changelogs of devices but this post is because it’s related to dangerous vulnerabilities which have been fixed, that’s why Apple released iOS 16.4.1 so fast. Two separate vulnerabilities have been actively exploited in the wild and Apple knows about them.
iOS 16.4.1:
- iOSSurfaceAccelerator vulnerability: This could allow an app to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
- WebKit vulnerability: This can allow maliciously crafted web content to execute code.
macOS 13.3.1:
- Fix the problem that the push hand emoji does not display the skin color selection
- Fixes an issue where the Apple Watch could not be used to automatically unlock the Mac
Apple fixed it with improved memory management. These SEVERE vulnerabilities were founded and reported by Google’s Threat Analysis Group and Amnesty International’s Security Lab.
