Apple has launched updates for iOS, macOS, and VisionOS to fix critical security issues and other bugs.

The iOS 17.4.1 update remedies a severe vulnerability discovered by a Google Project Zero researcher, which could allow remote code execution on devices.

The same security flaw addressed in the iOS update has prompted parallel updates for Safari, macOS, and VisionOS.

Additional iOS 17.4.1 security patches target two other vulnerabilities in CoreMedia and WebRTC that pose risks of device takeover by malicious entities.

The macOS 14.4.1 update corrects not just security gaps but also functional bugs affecting USB hubs, Audio Unit plugins, and Java applications.

Apple strongly advises users to update their devices to protect against hacker exploitation.

The upcoming release of iOS 17.5 beta is anticipated shortly following these critical updates.
