New apple zero day -
On Wednesday, August 17, Apple released security updates for iOS , iPadOS , and macOS platforms to remediate two zero-day vulnerabilities that had been exploited by attackers to compromise its line of devices. This vulnerability could lead to the execution of arbitrary code by processing specially crafted web content on a compromised or malicious site. Successful exploitation can then lead to complete control of the target system, data destruction, or exfiltration of sensitive information.
The second is CVE The vulnerability could be exploited by a malicious application to execute arbitrary code with the highest privileges by writing data past the end of the intended buffer leading to corruption of data, crashing of the kernel, or code execution within the kernel.
Further, we advise users to enable their automatic software updates. Since the start of the year, Apple has seen six zero-day vulnerabilities including the two today. CVE was a malicious application that was potentially able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. In WebKit, CVE processed maliciously crafted web content that could lead to arbitrary code execution. And finally, there was the AppleAVD vulnerability.
Both vulnerabilities are seeing significant interest by cyber threat researchers and will likely be a target for attackers over the next few days.
