Apple has issued iOS 18.3, fixing 29 flaws, one of which is already being used in real-life attacks on iPhones. Here's what you need to know.
Update, Jan. 28, 2025: This story, originally published Jan. 27, now includes more details of the fixes issued alongside iOS 18.3, as well as some expert analysis on the update.
Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited against versions of iOS before iOS 17.2, the iPhone maker said on itsApple’s iOS 18.3 also fixes two bugs in the Kernel at the heart of the iOS operating system. Tracked as CVE-2025-24107, the first flaw could see a malicious app able to gain root privileges. Meanwhile, the second issue could allow an app to execute code with Kernel privileges.
Alongside iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3 and iPadOS 17.7.4, Apple has issued macOS Sequoia 15.3, macOS Sonoma 14.7.3, macOS Ventura 13.7.3, watchOS 11.3, tvOS 18.3, visionOS 2.3 for its Apple Vision Pro headset and Safari 18.3, fixing many of the same issues — including the already-exploited flaw., but there is no iOS 17.7.4 update yet. This could be because iOS 17 is not affected, or because Apple is no longer offering the update to newer devices, or the details aren’t available yet.
Covington advises users and organizations that rely on iPhones “to install security updates as quickly as possible.”
