Apple recently released iOS 17.4.1 and iPadOS 17.4.1 updates to address some security vulnerabilities that were previously undisclosed. These updates are crucial for all users and should be installed as soon as possible.

One of the vulnerabilities fixed in this update was in CoreMedia, a media framework used by Apple on devices like the iPhone XS and later, iPad Pro 12.9-inch 2nd generation and later, and more. This flaw could have allowed attackers to run commands on affected devices by tricking users into clicking on a malicious image.

Another vulnerability patched was in WebRTC, a system that enables real-time communication on web browsers and mobile applications. This flaw also impacted various Apple devices listed earlier.

Both vulnerabilities were discovered by Nick Galloway of Google Project Zero and were assigned CVE numbers for reference. While Apple has not reported any instances of these vulnerabilities being exploited, it is essential to update your device to protect against potential threats.

To update your device to iOS 17.4.1, simply go to Settings > General > Software Update and follow the instructions provided.
