Apple released emergency security updates to fix two iOS zero-day vulnerabilities that were exploited in attacks on iPhones.

The company says it addressed the security flaws for devices running iOS 17.4, iPadOS 17.4, iOS 16.76, and iPad 16.7.6 with improved input validation.

While Apple has not released information regarding ongoing exploitation in the wild, iOS zero-day vulnerabilities are commonly used in state-sponsored spyware attacks against high-risk individuals, such as journalists, opposition politicians, and dissidents.

With these two vulnerabilities, Apple has fixed three zero-days so far in 2024, with the first in January.

Three more zero-days in May. two zero-days in April.

Apple fixes first zero-day bug exploited in attacks this year.
