Cupertino-based Apple has released iOS 16.4.1 and iPadOS 16.4.1 for compatible iPhone and iPad. The updates come for a couple of actively exploited vulnerabilities, along with issues affecting Siri and others.
An IOSurfaceAccelerator vulnerability existed in iPhones that allowed an app to execute arbitrary code with elevated kernel privileges. Similarly, a WebKit vulnerability could result in crafted web content, which could result in arbitrary code execution.
