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.
