iOS 15.3 patches 10 major security vulnerabilities affecting Safari, root access, and more

In addition to today’s Apple software updates for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and more, they also fix various security issues. iOS 15.3 specifically patches 10 noteworthy security vulnerabilities, ranging from Safari web browsing leaks to vulnerabilities that could grant root privileges to malicious apps.

We knew that the web browsing and Google Account ID vulnerabilities were patched ahead of time when RC versions of iOS 15.3 and macOS 12.2 arrived. However, Apple has now detailed the full list of security patches, showing Documentation for iOS 15.3, watchOS 8.4, and more.

macOS 12.2 may contain the same fix, but Apple has not yet released a security update for it.

In addition to the Safari web browsing vulnerability, other security issues have been patched, including the ability for apps to gain root privileges, the ability to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges, incorrect access to user files via iCloud, and more.
