Apple has released iOS 16.6.1, iPadOS 16.6.1, and watchOS 9.6.2, bringing important security fixes to iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch.
The updates, which are available to install now, patch two key security vulnerabilities, both of which “may have been actively exploited,” according to Apple.
In a post to the Apple Support webpage, the iPhone maker says one vulnerability fixed in iOS 16.1.1 is in Image I/O, the iOS framework that allows applications to read and write image formats on your iPhone. Apple said that a maliciously crafted image may lead to arbitrary code execution.
The second issue is in the Wallet app. Apple said a maliciously crafted attachment could lead to arbitrary code execution there, as well.
Apple recommends all users update to iOS 16.6.1, iPadOS 16.6.1, and watchOS 9.6.2 to avoid the security exploits.
