Alright, folks, listen up. If you’re an Apple user, it’s time to sit up and pay attention. This past Wednesday was not just another hump day; it marked the release of a series of critical security updates from our friends at Cupertino. So what exactly is in this update? Well, here are two of the most important fixes: Kernel: This nasty bug could allow bad actors to “execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges,” or in layman’s terms: run code with zero restrictions on your device. That’s like giving someone the keys to your house and saying, “Help yourself to anything.” Impact: Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited. Description: An integer overflow was addressed with improved input validation. CVE-2023-32434: Georgy Kucherin (@kucher1n), Leonid Bezvershenko (@bzvr_), and Boris Larin (@oct0xor) of Kaspersky WebKit: WebKit is essentially what lets webpages display on your Apple devices. A flaw here means bad guys could use harmful web content to mess with your device and, just like the Kernel issue, execute code remotely on your device. Yea, not good. Impact: Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited. Description: A type confusion issue was addressed with improved checks. CVE-2023-32439: an anonymous researcher The most concerning part about all this is that Apple has confirmed both issues have been exploited already – yikes! So if you…Apple users: update your devices right now; critical update available
