Technical details of the two bugs, Apple said, will not be released, \u201cuntil an investigation has occurred and patches or releases are available.\u201d\n\nBoth bugs are tied to Apple\u2019s Safari browser and the underlying iOS code, called WebKit, which is responsible for rendering web pages. Apple is crediting the discovery of both bugs (CVE-2021-30761 and CVE-2021-30762) to an anonymous researcher.\n\nThe patch, iOS 12.5.4, is available for download.\nSee Also: RockYou2021: largest password compilation of all time leaked online \u2013 8.4 billion entries Memory Corruption Bug: CVE-2021-30761One of the bugs patched by Apple addresses a \u201cmemory corruption issue\u201d and improves the Apple WebKit state management.\n\n\u201cState management refers to the management of the state of one or more user interface controls such as text fields, OK buttons, radio buttons, etc. in a graphical user interface,\u201d according to a technical description of the term.\n\nAccording to Apple, the patch for the bug, logged as CVE-2012-30761, addresses a bug found in iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, and iPod touch (6th generation). This range of hardware was released between 2013 and 2018.\nSee Also: Offensive Security Tool: CloudFail Use After Free Flaw: CVE-2021-30762The second flaw was identified as a use-after-free bug, which is a type of memory corruption vulnerability. The bug, tracked as CVE-20121-30762, allows an attacker to execute code on targeted devices. According to Apple, adversaries may be exploiting this flaw on unpatched devices. In its advisory Apple wrote: \u201cImpact: Processed maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited.\u201d\n\nApple added that the \u201cuse-after-free issue was addressed with improved memory management.\u201d\n\n\u201c[A] use-after-free is a vulnerability [is] related to incorrect use of dynamic memory during program operation. If after freeing a memory location, a program does not clear the pointer to that memory, an attacker can use the error to hack the program,\u201d according to a Kaspersky description of this type of bug.
