The New iOS 15.4.1 Update Will Also Fix Critical Security Vulnerability
Moreover, the update also addresses a problem related to ‘Made for iPhone’ and ‘Made for iPad’ hearing devices that were becoming unresponsive to some third-party apps. The latest new iOS update also fixes a security bug within the AppleAVD media decoder that would allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. According to the company, the zero-day vulnerability might have been “actively exploited” by some attackers in the wild.
The discovery of the problem is credited to an anonymous researcher. By accessing kernel privileges, the code can execute any CPU task, providing an attacker with ample ammunition. Apple has further released macOS Monterey 12.3.1, which also comprises a security fix for the same problem on Macs on the M1 series and Intel processors.
