- Apple released emergency security updates to fix two iOS zero-day vulnerabilities exploited in attacks on iPhones, addressing bugs in the iOS Kernel (CVE-2024-23225) and RTKit (CVE-2024-23296).
- The security flaws were fixed for devices running iOS 17.4, iPadOS 17.4, iOS 16.76, and iPad 16.7.6 with improved input validation to prevent arbitrary kernel read and write capabilities.
- The impacted Apple devices include a wide range of products, and the company has not disclosed the source of the zero-days or ongoing exploitation in the wild.
- iOS zero-day vulnerabilities are often used in state-sponsored spyware attacks against high-risk individuals, emphasizing the importance of promptly installing security updates to prevent potential attacks.
- With these two vulnerabilities, Apple has now fixed three zero-day flaws in 2024, following the resolution of 20 zero-days in 2023.
