Apple launched iOS 14.5.1 and iOS 12.5.3, macOS 11.3.1, and watchOS 7.4.1 today with the main changes being security repairs (App Tracking Transparency bug fix for iOS too). So make sure to update to the current software application to the latest defense.
In support documents, Apple detailed the web flaws that were fixed. The very first flaw suggested that “Processing maliciously crafted web material may cause approximate code execution.” Memory corruption was at play here and Apple states it repaired the issue with “enhanced state management.”
A second flaw also dealt with the exact same capacity for malicious web material possibly performing arbitrary code and Apple states it likewise might have been exploited in the wild. On this one, Apple solved the issue with an integer overflow and “enhanced input recognition.”

Apple launched updates for iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Watch today with multiple security updates. The defects involved destructive web material that could cause approximate code execution– and Apple states they may have been actively made use of.
