Apple’s iPhone is a highly popular device around the world due to its robust security features and durability. In order to maintain the safety of its users, Apple periodically releases security updates for its devices. It is recommended that users install the latest iOS updates to benefit from a more secure and feature-rich operating system.
Even older iPhone models receive patches to fix vulnerabilities, which may arise due to hardware limitations. However, some users may choose to continue using older versions of iOS for convenience, despite the fact that older versions are often more susceptible to being exploited.
Recently, multiple vulnerabilities were identified in Apple iOS, prompting the Indian government to issue a warning to iPhone users. The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), which operates under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, reported that certain versions of iOS contain vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a targeted device.
These vulnerabilities are present in iOS versions prior to 16.4.1 and builds prior to 15.7.5, and result from an out-of-bounds write issue in the 10SurfaceAccelerator component, as well as a use-after-free issue in the Webkit component.
To exploit these vulnerabilities, an attacker would send a specially crafted application to the targeted device. If successful, the attacker would be able to execute arbitrary code on the system, potentially causing harm or stealing sensitive information.
