Apple has released two software updates for iPhones, iPads and Macs that address recent security vulnerabilities.

  • CVE-2022-32894, which documents out-of-bounds write issues in the operating systems’ kernel that can be exploited by a malicious application to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. 

 The current list of iPads, iPhones, and Macs products and versions that are affected are:

  • Macs running on macOS Monterey, prior to version 12.5.1
  • iPhone 6s and later, iPad Pro (all models), iPad Air 2 and later, iPad 5th generation and later, iPad mini 4 and later, and iPod touch (7th generation), on OS versions prior to version 15.6.1.
