Apple has issued emergency security updates to backport patches for two actively exploited zero-day flaws to older iPhones and some Apple Watch and Apple TV models.
Today, Apple addressed the zero-days in iOS 16.7.3, iPadOS 16.7.3, tvOS 17.2, and watchOS 10.2 with improved input validation and locking.
Although Apple has yet to provide details about the vulnerabilities' exploitation in attacks, researchers at Google TAG have frequently identified and disclosed information on zero-day flaws employed in state-sponsored surveillance software attacks targeting high-profile individuals, including journalists, opposition figures, and dissidents.
