Security News > 2022 > September > Apple patches iPhone and macOS flaws under active attack

Apple has pushed out five security fixes including including two vulnerabilities in its iPhones, iPads and Mac operating systems that are already being exploited.

The vendor said it fixed the flaw with improved bounds checks and has released patches for iPhone 6 and later, iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 and later, and iPad 5, iPad mini 4, and iPod touch models and all newer kit.

Maybe while watching Apple TV, which also requires some updates to fix security flaws in tvOS 16 - but the vendor hasn't released details for that one yet.

Apple also released patches for another bug that Apple acknowledged "May have been actively exploited," in computers running macOS Big Sur 11.7.

In total, the vendor released five security updates on Monday that include 16 CVEs across its Safari 16 web browser running macOS Big Sur and macOS Monterey, iOS 16 in iPhone 8 and later, macOS Monterey 12.6, macOS Big Sur 11.7 and iOS 15.7 and iPadOS 15.7 across most models of its iPhone and iPad products as well as seventh-generation iPad touch devices.

The fixes come just days after Apple's latest product premier, dubbed "Far Out," showcased the company's iPhone 14, Apple Watch 8, and second generation AirPods Pro earbuds.
