Apple has addressed multiple vulnerabilities with the iOS 18.3 update, one of which resolves an issue where, with physical access to your unlocked device, code could be used to gain access to the Photos app while the app was locked.
Another issue involves AirPlay on a local network, allowing an attacker to cause an unexpected system crash and corrupt process memory.
Additional bugs and security vulnerabilities have also been fixed, including those that allowed attackers to execute arbitrary code remotely and cause denial-of-service attacks.
There are multiple other high-severity vulnerabilities in versions prior to iOS 18.3. Therefore, it is crucial to update to iOS 18.3 as soon as possible. Even if you’re not interested in the new features the OS brings, you should certainly prioritise your safety.
