On its official website, CERT-In stated that older models such as the iPhone 6s, the iPhone 7 series, the iPhone 8 series and the first generation iPhone SE also have vulnerabilities.
iPad users including iPad Air, Pro and Mini are also advised to update to the latest market version available.
In India, iPhone presented inconsistencies in the operating system
The Indian Team verified that there are vulnerabilities in the Apple iOS and iPadOS operating systems due to "improper input validation" issues in Kernel and "improper state management" issues in WebKit.
So that users can understand, experts explained that Kernel is a kind of core of the operating system, while WebKit is the core technology behind the Apple browser Safari.
The security agency warns that these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to execute code arbitrary on the target system, potentially leading to complete control of the device committed. CERT-In classifies the severity level of these vulnerabilities as high risk.
The government notice was issued a few days after Apple started rolling out the new iOS updates for iPhones that are still up to date.
The company released iOS 15.7.7 and revealed that the vulnerabilities are real and were discovered by Kaspersky, a famous cybersecurity company.
To solve the problem encountered, users need to update the device as soon as possible!
