Apple<\/a> has released urgent updates across its devices to address two zero-day vulnerabilities<\/strong> that may have been actively exploited in targeted attacks<\/strong> on iOS users. The bugs were previously unknown to Apple and were being used to hack specific individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Though Apple hasn’t disclosed the number of affected users or the identity of the attackers, the company acknowledged that one of the vulnerabilities was discovered by Google\u2019s Threat Analysis Group<\/strong>, which tracks nation-state-backed cyberattacks<\/strong>. This suggests the attacks could have been launched by a government entity, possibly involving spyware<\/strong> or other remote tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Details of the Vulnerabilities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Core Audio Bug<\/strong>: This flaw affects Apple’s\u00a0Core Audio<\/strong>\u00a0system, allowing attackers to exploit a malicious audio file to execute harmful code on a device.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Pointer Authentication Bypass<\/strong>: The second issue lets attackers bypass Apple\u2019s\u00a0pointer authentication<\/strong>, weakening the defense against malicious code injection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Updates Released<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To fix these vulnerabilities, Apple has rolled out updates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • macOS Sequoia<\/strong>\u00a0updated to\u00a015.4.1<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • iOS 18.4.1<\/strong>\u00a0released for iPhones and iPads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Apple TV<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Vision Pro<\/strong>\u00a0also received the same security patches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
