Just seven days rolling out major updates for its operating systems, Apple has released patches for iOS, iPadOS, macOS and watchOS.
The company said in support documents that the updates settle WebKit imperfections that may have been exploited. The issues concerned “maliciously crafted web content [that] may lead to arbitrary code execution.”
Among the issues were a memory corruption issue and integer overflow on macOS and iOS, and buffer overflow and use after free issues on more seasoned iOS devices.
To resolve the flaws, Apple has released iOS 14.5.1, iPadOS 14.5.1, macOS Big Sur 11.3.1 and watchOS 7.4.1. Owners of older iPhones, iPads and iPod contact gadgets that don’t uphold late forms of iOS can download and introduce iOS 12.5.3 all things being equal.
Given that Apple accepts the flaws might have been “actively exploited,” it’s a smart thought to install the updates as soon as possible.
