Apple fixes zero-day flaw affecting all devices


The zero-day bug was fixed in iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple TVs, Apple Watches and Vision Pro headsets.

As part of this batch of software updates, Apple also released several patches fixing security bugs, including a zero-day bug that “may have been actively exploited” — meaning hackers were using it to compromise devices — against users with iPhones running software older than iOS 17.2, which was released in December 2023. Apple said hackers could have “elevated privileges” by exploiting a memory corruption bug, which would have allowed broader access to a device’s data.
