Apple has released security fixes for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, alongside the latest updates to its current operating systems. The most significant update is iOS 15.8 and iPadOS 15.8, available for older devices such as the iPhone 6s, iPhone 7, first-generation iPhone SE, iPad Air 2, fourth-generation iPad mini, and seventh-generation iPod touch.

The update addresses a single vulnerability, identified as CVE-2023-32434. Interestingly, this vulnerability had already been supposedly fixed in iOS 15.7.7 and iPadOS 15.7.7. However, Apple’s decision to release another update suggests that the initial fix may not have been effective. Since the vulnerability has been exploited in the wild, it is crucial for Apple to ensure that the fix is successful, especially considering it applies only to older devices.

For home users, these security updates may not be deemed critical. It is recommended to update when there is spare time available.
