Apple on Wednesday rolled out security patches to address a new zero-day flaw in iOS and iPadOS that it said has come under active exploitation in the wild.
Tracked as CVE-2023-42824, the kernel vulnerability could be abused by a local attacker to elevate their privileges. The iPhone maker said it addressed the problem with improved checks.
"Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited against versions of iOS before iOS 16.6," the company noted in a terse advisory.
