Apple has released updates to 20 security vulnerabilities affecting iOS and iPadOS operating systems, including a 0-day vulnerability known to be actively exploited by threat actors.
The 0-day vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2022-42827, exists due to a boundary error affecting the “Kernel“ component of the operating system. Threat actors can execute with root privileges on the vulnerable system by triggering an out-of-bounds write error through a specially crafted application.

In order not to be the target of attacks that can be carried out using vulnerabilities, Apple users using vulnerable versions are recommended to apply the published updates immediately.
