Don’t Forget to Install Latest iOS 10.3.3 ASAP as it Fixes Some Critical Security Bugs
[Originally Published on July, 19]
Apple today released iOS 10.3.3 to the public following several weeks of beta testing. Today's update comes after over two months of the last iOS release, which means there are a number of security fixes coming in as well. While the update is a minor one since Apple is focusing on the next versions of its mobile and desktop software, iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra, there are a number of security fixes that make this update a must-install.
iOS 10.3.3 security changelog
Today's iOS 10.3.3 fixes a number of security issues, that include:
- Arbitrary code execution with system and/or kernel privileges
- Disclosure of user information
- Unexpected application termination
- Address bar spoofing
- Multiple memory corruption issues
- Arbitrary code execution on the Wi-Fi chip
The last flaw in the WiFi chip can enable attackers in WiFi range to find your device, take over its WiFi chip and crash your iOS device without requiring your pin. Known as the Broadpwn exploit that received a major 9.8 out of 10 score in the US's National Institute of Standards and Technology severity scale, the flaw was patched by Google earlier this month and now Apple has fixed it too.
Here's the complete changelog of iOS 10.3.3 security fixes. For details about the security fixes that today's macOS Sierra 10.12.6 is bringing in, visit Apple.
