The Emergency SOS service has also been tweaked to reduce the chance of accidentally triggering it. It is an option you enable so that when you make an SOS call via the Emergency SOS service, the phone will not flash or make a countdown. The initial release of iOS 16.3 was in June, which allows users to call silently with Emergency SOS and provides improved two-factor security and advanced data protection.Īpple's Emergency SOS service was upgraded to call silently make calls if you enable the function via a slider option (useful in situations where an attacker might be present). It is unclear how long the vulnerabilities have been plaguing devices, as Apple says it ‘doesn't disclose, discuss, or confirm security issues until an investigation has occurred and patches or releases are available.’Īpple's release notes show that the iOS 16.3.1 update also includes multiple bug fixes, addressing issues with iCloud and Siri, along with more Crash Detection optimizations. The flaw found in Webkit was detected by an anonymous researcher and the one if Kernel was spotted by Xinru Chi of Pangu Lab and Ned Williamson of Google Project Zero.Īpple also notes that The Citizen Lab at The University of Toronto’s Munk School also assisted with finding these security issues. The updated operating system has patches for two security issues that were foundĪpple rolled out the update on Monday, noting it patches the issues, noting there are reports of the flaw in Webkit being exploited.
