Apple introduced its latest iOS variant for iPhone users during its first event itself. It allows its iPhone users to unlock with Face ID with a face mask.
Now, the government has issued an advisory, asking iPhone users to update their smartphones at the earliest. Because many problems have come to the fore in Apple products, which can be solved after updating. The advisory was issued by the government on March 17 and presented a seriousness to many of these vulnerabilities. It has been said that if these problems are not resolved then your device can also be hacked.
The advisory states that vulnerabilities found in Apple products give a privilege to hackers. At the same time, it exposes many weaknesses in front of them. In addition, entering arbitrary codes on an affected user’s iPhone allows them to expose sensitive information and bypass security restrictions on vulnerable systems.
What are the weaknesses
According to the information, it has been said that these vulnerabilities exist in Apple products due to memory initialization issue, out-of-bounds read, out-of-bounds write, memory corruption, type confusion issue, null pointer dereference, authentication issue, cookie management. Huh. Which can be fixed by updating the device.
CERT-In said successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to gain elevated privileges and enter arbitrary code into a victim’s Apple device and infiltrate the security system.
Advisory for these devices
These include iOS and iPad versions older than iOS 15.4, WatchOS older than 8.5, Apple tvOS older than 15.4, Apple iTunes for Windows version 12.12.3, Monterey macOS older than 12.3, Apple TV software older than 7.9, Logic Pro X older than 10.7 and Apple Xcode versions older than 13.3 are included.

If you’re an Apple user and still haven’t updated to iOS 15.4, the advisory states that you update it as soon as possible. As soon as Apple updates to iOS 15.4, you get features like iPhone Unlock with Face ID. So that the device can be kept safe.
