New Delhi,12/10: It’s been a little over a week since Apple released the iOS/iPadOS 15.0.1, but it was a minor update with bug fixes. Now, the company has rolled out a critical security patch to all eligible iPhones and iPads.
Apple said that a security researcher (name unknown) had detected a security glitch dubbed CVE-2021-30883 that allowed bad actors to use an app to actively conduct remote execution on iPhones and iPads. Taking note of the issues, the company has plugged the loophole with the latest iOS 15.0.2 update.
“An application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited,” reads the Apple note
