Apple on Wednesday released an update to devices using the latest version of iOS that fixes two serious security flaws that are reportedly being used in hacks that are currently targeting iPhones and iPads.

According to a support page released by Apple, iOS 16.5.1 fixes an issue in the kernel, tracked with the code CVE-2023-32434, that could enable an attacker to execute code with kernel-level privileges. Like in previous security updates, Apple did not release more information about the fix.
