Update your iPhone, iPad, and Mac ASAP to fix this dangerous security flaw - here's why


Apple says the flaw may have already been used in an 'extremely sophisticated attack' on targeted individuals.

Fixing the issue required Apple to set up "improved bounds checking" to ensure that the malicious image wouldn't be able to venture beyond its assigned memory. Through its Pegasus spyware, the group has been caught several times exploiting flaws on computers and mobile devices to monitor the activities of targeted victims. The latest updates come just a few days after the release of iOS 18.6.1 and WatchOS 11.6.1, which brought with them a new (and hopefully non-patent-infringing) version of Apple's Blood Oxygen monitoring tool.
