Update Your Apple iPhone or iPad NOW to Protect it From Newly Discovered Security Bugs
Apple is encouraging iPhone and iPad users to update their operating systems as soon as possible to fix a vulnerability in its iOS. According to information on its support website, the onlinepany says that this update is necessary to fix security bugs that may have already been “actively exploited.”
Apple disclosed that the flaws in its iOS were reported by an anonymous researcher, but there weren’t many additional details released. The onlinepany said that “For our customers’ protection, Apple doesn’t disclose, discuss, or confirm security issues until an investigation has occurred and patches or releases are available.”
As a result of the bugs in its Kernel iOS, Apple warns that “a malicious application may be able to elevate privileges.” Additionally, “a remote attacker may be able to cause arbitrary code execution” with WebKit, which is used by Safari, Mail, and many other onlinemon apps.
Affected devices include iPhone 6s and later, iPad Air 2 and later, iPad mini 4 and later, and iPod touch (7th generation). To update your device, plug it into a power source and connect it to the internet with WiFi. Then go to Settings > General, and select Software Update.
