A security vulnerability in WebKit could allow attackers to remotely execute code via malicious web pages. According to Ghacks.net, the issue has been designated as CVE-2023-23529.
According to Apple, the security flaw may have been deliberately exploited by hackers. It resolved the issue by resolving a form of confusion problem with enhanced checks.
According to the release notes for Safari 16.3.1, the vulnerability has also been addressed in macOS Big Sur and macOS Monterey. You may upgrade to the current version of the browser on your Mac by going to the System Preferences page.
A second security flaw in iOS 16.3.1, iPadOS 16.3.1, and macOS 13.2.1 was connected to the operating systems’ Kernel. An app with kernel privileges might be used by hackers to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability has been identified as CVE-2023-23514 by Google Project Zero’s Ned Williamson and Xinru Chi of Pangu Lab. It’s amusing how Pangu transitioned from jailbreaking iOS to reporting vulnerabilities that might have been used for the same purpose. The zero-day vulnerability was addressed by enhancing the operating system’s memory management. Apple has given credit to The Citizen Lab at The University of Toronto’s Munk School for aiding them in closing the security loopholes.
A new security patch for macOS Ventura 13.2.1 is now available, this time for the Shortcuts app, where a problem discovered might have allowed apps to monitor unencrypted data. Wenchao Li and Xiaolong Bai of Alibaba Group discovered the weakness, which has been labeled CVE-2023-23522. To solve the privacy issue, Apple modified the management of temporary files.
The iOS 16.3.1 update is now available for iPhone 8 and later models. The iPad Pro (all models), iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 5th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later have all gotten the iPadOS 16.3.1 update.
iOS 16.3.1 rectifies an issue with the iCloud Settings, which may stop responding or display incorrectly if apps used iCloud. This will most likely answer user complaints about being unable to use iCloud Backups. Siri queries for the Find My feature have indeed been fixed by Apple. The update improves crash detection on the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models.
It is unclear what has been fixed, but there have been several issues since the feature’s launch, with the most prevalent complaint being false reports while users were skiing or on a roller coaster, among other things.
