Merely weeks after releasing out-of-band patches for iOS, iPadOS, macOS and watchOS, Apple has issued yet another security update for iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch to fix a critical zero-day weakness that it says is being actively exploited in the wild.
Apple has credited Clement Lecigne and Billy Leonard of Google's Threat Analysis Group for discovering and reporting the issue.
iOS 12.5.2 - Phone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, and iPod touch.
iPadOS 14.4.2 - iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 and later, iPad 5th generation and later, iPad mini 4 and later.
The latest release arrives close on the heels of a patch for a separate WebKit flaw that Apple shipped earlier this month.
Users of Apple devices are advised to install the updates as soon as possible to mitigate the risk associated with the flaw.
