Researchers at Trellix have discovered a brand new class of privilege execution bugs in both #iOS and #macOS. Fortunately, those aforementioned updates patched these flaws. If you haven’t installed the latest updates yet, you absolutely should. These newly discovered bugs can be exploited by an attacker to gain access to your messages, call history, location data, photos and more on either your iPhone or Mac. In its new research though, Trellix showed that these patches can be bypassed and this is how the company’s security researchers discovered this new class of privilege escalation bugs. Although hackers can exploit these bugs to spy on iPhone and Mac users, some of them can even be used to entirely wipe a vulnerable device. Fortunately, Trellix alerted Apple about its discoveries and the company quickly patched these new bugs with the release of iOS 16.3 and macOS 13.2. However, Apple also recently released a series of emergency security updates in the form of iOS 16.3.1, macOS 13.2.1 and iPadOS 16.3.1 to patch a new WebKit zero-day.
