In recent weeks, Apple has released the iOS 16.3.1 and iPadOS 16.3.1 update to fix software glitches. However, this Tuesday (21) Apple included new vulnerabilities in the list of operating system fixes. The iOS 16.3 report had three new bug fixes and fixed a new vulnerability called CVE-2023-23524 in OS version 16.3.1 that allowed an attacker to execute a “maliciously crafted certificate”.

In the first security report, Apple described a fix for two vulnerabilities: the first is the WebKit browser engine, which received the CVE number 2023-23529, which allowed an attacker to use arbitrary code execution to execute commands on the device. The second fix was a kernel bug that allowed other applications to run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. According to Apple, the bug has been fixed thanks to improved memory management.

Recently added security report fixes

On Tuesday, Apple added a fix for the CVE-2023-23524 vulnerability to a security report. According to the company, the issue has been fixed with “improved input validation”. Theoretically, the bug would allow an attacker to execute a “malicious certificate” to flood the device’s network with false traffic, preventing access to information or completion of actions performed by the real owner of the infected device.

According to 9to5Google, the company has revised the iOS 16.3 and iPadOS 16.3 security reports and added three new bug fixes. One of them is found in iOS Crash Reporter, and the other two are found in iPhone and iPad, allowing hackers to execute arbitrary code with high privileges. In theory, all problems have been fixed through improved memory management.

Even with late inclusions, Apple shows that it is working on the stability and security of iOS 16. Therefore, it is important to constantly update the operating system to the latest version in order to avoid problems with the security of your device.
