Get updating: Apple releases iOS 15.3.1 patch for 'actively exploited' security flaw

[RV_]

Excerpt:

"Apple released iOS 15.3 earlier this month but it didn't include one fix for a security flaw it has now addressed in iOS 15.3.1. 

Details from Apple, as usual, are scant but it gave enough to suggest it is a serious bug because it can lead to malicious code execution simply by users opening a web page in the Apple Safari browser. 

"Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited," Apple said.   

The update is available for iPhone 6s and later, iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 and later, iPad 5th generation and later, iPad mini 4 and later, and iPod touch 7th generation.

Since the bug affects WebKit, the browser engine for Safari, it also affects macOS. Apple also released macOS Monterey 12.2.1 to address the issue on Macs."
