Is your hobby updating iPhones? Good because your iPhone is once again potentially at risk and Apple is rolling out an update as a result. Version 15.3.1.
The latest version of iOS has only just been released. The motto then was to update to iOS 15.3 and iPad 15.3 as soon as possible. This update came with then important security measures to ensure safety. In the previous version, 15.2, there was a leak. And three guesses what’s going on with the recently released 15.3. Correct. Another vulnerability.
iOS 15.3.1
And again Apple immediately sounds the alarm by coming up with a software update. Version 15.3.1 to be exact. Once again, the American tech giant strongly urges you to download and install the software update directly on your iPhone and iPad. It is, unlike 15.3, a very minor update and only aimed at addressing the vulnerability.
On the Support page Apple describes the vulnerability as follows.
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 on iOS and iPad OS 15.3
In short, grab your iPhone and iPad again. Update to iOS 15.3.1! The update is available for iPhone 6s and later, all models of the iPad Pro, iPad Air 2 and later, fifth-generation iPad 5 and later, iPad mini 4 and later, and seventh-generation iPod Touch.
