Fans of Apple products, this is news that you would have done without. The American company recommended, this Friday August 19, to the owners of certain models of iPhone, iPad and Mac to update the operating software due to a security flaw, reported, according to the firm, by anonymous researchers. This unfortunately allows some to take control of your devices, as Franceinfo reports. Indeed, according to the brand with the apple-shaped icon, the old version of the operating software, has “an application” that can “use arbitrary code” with access to the device. Clearly, a hacker can perform actions without your permission. “This possibility could have been actively exploited” by hackers, says Apple, taken up by our colleagues. This security flaw can also be exploited via “maliciously designed internet content”, adds the group from Cupertino (California), taken over by Franceinfo. Which models are affected? All iPhone 6s and later, all iPad Pros, fifth-generation iPads and later, and Macs would be targeted, reports L’Express. How to protect yourself? The solutions against these flaws are as follows: download version 15.6.1 of the operating software iOS for iPhones, its counterpart iPadOS 15.6.1 for iPads and macOS Monterey 12.5.1 for Mac computers, according to Apple.
