Apple Inc. has released new security updates for its devices, saying they fix two zero-day vulnerabilities which “may have been actively exploited.”

One of the bugs affected Apple’s WebKit software which is used to display content in browsers.

The vulnerability affects its flagship iPhones, iPads, Macs and other devices, with the company urging users to update their devices.

“The vulnerabilities give hackers the ability to take control of a device’s operating system to execute arbitrary code and potentially infiltrate devices through maliciously crafted web content,” read a statement from Apple.

The tech company has just released two vital upgrades called iOS15.61 and iPadOS15.61

Some users are experiencing their iPhone showing the Apple logo then turning off. The best thing to do here is to charge your iPhone for a while or force restart your iPhone.

There are now problems with the kernel framework on Apple devices. This is the deepest layer of the operating system. The other is WebKit, the fundamental technology of the Safari web browser.

Apple has received reports that the bugs in the system have been actively exploited.

Users must be alerted to the fact that a hacker can now get full admin access to the device so that they can execute any code as if they are you, the user.
