Apple on Thursday rolled out emergency patches to address two zero-day flaws in its mobile and desktop operating systems that it said may have been exploited in the wild.

Both the vulnerabilities have been reported to Apple anonymously.

Apple said the defect was resolved with improved bounds checking, adding it's aware that "This issue may have been actively exploited."

The latest updates bring the total number of actively exploited zero-days patched by Apple to four since the start of year, not to mention a publicly disclosed flaw in the IndexedDB API, which could be abused by a malicious website to track users' online activity and identities in the web browser.

In light of active exploitation of the flaws, Apple iPhone, iPad, and Mac users are highly recommended to upgrade to the latest versions of the software as soon as possible to mitigate potential threats.

The iOS and iPad updates are available to iPhone 6s and later, iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 and later, iPad 5th generation and later, iPad mini 4 and later, and iPod touch.
