In addition, CERT-IN, the government’s Computer Emergency Response Team, has also provided advice to Apple users to get the latest updates for iPhone, MacBook, and iPad.
What are the security holes that Apple fixed?
On its support page, Apple mentions that the update is available to all iPhone 6s and later users. This means that the vulnerability could affect anyone using earlier versions of iOS 15.
Apple notes that the first security hole means “any application can execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges”. The second concerns WebKit, which is the browser engine that powers Safari, Chrome, and other web browsers. Apple also says that these vulnerabilities have been flagged by anonymous security researchers.
