The updates may already have reached you if you automatically update, but it doesn’t hurt to check if your device is at the latest update level.

If a Safari update is available for your device, you can get it by updating your iPhone or iPad or updating your Mac.

Owners of devices running iOS 16.7 and iPad iOS 16.7 are especially encouraged to update as soon as possible, since the fixed issues may have been exploited against versions of iOS before iOS 16.7.1.

Apple doesn’t disclose, discuss, or confirm details about security issues until an investigation has occurred and patches or releases are available. But both vulnerabilities were credited to Clément Lecigne of Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG).

Recently we saw an update for the Chrome browser which included a patch for an actively exploited zero-day vulnerability. That vulnerability was reported by TAG’s Benoît Sevens and the formerly mentioned Clément Lecigne. These Google TAG researchers are renowned for finding and disclosing zero-day vulnerabilities used in state-sponsored spyware attacks.
