Apple today released updates for iOS and macOS (as well as Safari). The update fixes two vulnerabilities that are already being exploited:
– CVE-2023-28205: This vulnerability could lead to a “zero-click” exploit as a user visits a malicious web page.
– CVE-2023-28206: The first vulnerability “only” provides code execution in the Safari sandbox. But this second vulnerability could be used to escape the sandbox and achieve full system access. We rate this as “important” as it implements a privilege escalation. The full potential of the vulnerability is only realized with a remote code execution vulnerability like CVE-2023-28205.
These two vulnerabilities are likely going to be used together. Both vulnerabilities were reported by the Google TAG and the Amnesty International Security Lab. More https://www.scmagazine.com/news/device-security/apple-patches-two-new-zero-days-targeting-iphones-ipads-macs
