Apple Just Gave iPhone Users 35 Reasons To Update To iOS 16.2 Right Away

With iOS 16.2, Apple has patched a whopping 35 security flaws, some of which are very serious.

Six security flaws in the iPhone operating system's kernel and ten in WebKit, the component that runs Apple's Safari browser, are among the bugs resolved in iOS 16.2 According to Apple's support page, the WebKit flaws fixed in iOS 16.2 include problems that might result in arbitrary code execution.

One of the problems with the Kernel that was repaired was CVE-2022-46689, which may have allowed an app to run arbitrary code with Kernel privileges and was discovered by security researcher Ian Beer at Google's Project Zero project. CVE-2022-42842, a critical Kernel flaw that iOS 16.2 addressed, might allow remote code execution.

Immediately update to iOS 16.2 if you can

Although there are several and critical security flaws corrected in iOS 16.2, none have been exploited in actual attacks as of yet. To ensure the highest level of security for your iPhone, it makes sense to upgrade right away.

Other significant security improvements in iOS 16.2 by Apple include end-to-end encryption for new iCloud categories, which is first being made available to customers in the United States. Additionally, the iOS 16.2 update adds privacy and security safeguards for the widely used AirDrop feature.

According to independent security researcher Sean Wright, iOS 16.2 includes some intriguing new features in addition to significant security fixes. Although he acknowledges the likelihood of this happening is slim, he claims connecting a few of the vulnerabilities repaired in iOS 16.2 together might "possibly allow an attacker to seize full control of a device remotely."

"For the majority of users, this isn't a cause for concern. I still advise you to update when you can, though," Wright advises.

Apple releases iOS 15.7.2, an urgent upgrade for iOS 15 users.

Apple released iOS 15.7.2 in addition to iOS 16.2 for anyone still using iOS 15, the company's previous operating system. This update is essential because it resolves CVE-2022-42856, a security flaw in WebKit that has already been exploited and was also addressed in iOS 16.1.2.

To keep your iPhone secure, you must at the very least be on iOS 15.7.2 if you haven't updated to iOS 16.2.
