The update addresses a zero-day vulnerability that allowed hackers to inject malicious content via compromised websites.
Apple previously released a similar security fix with iOS 17.2 in December 2023.
Eligible devices include iPhone 15 series, iPhone 14 series, and select iPads like iPad Pro (M4) and iPad Air (M2).
Apple has officially released a new minor update for iPhone and iPad users, which addresses a critical zero-day vulnerability that posed a significant security risk. The new iOS 18.3.2 and iPadOS 18.3.2 are offered with a critical security patch that will protect the devices from potential cyberattacks. This zero-day vulnerability allowed attackers to redirect users to compromised websites and inject malicious content. If not updated to the latest iOS update, this vulnerability can give the hackers access to sensitive information and the ability to track you.
With the new 704 MB update, Apple has implemented a proactive patch to eliminate this potential threat and provide a more secure user experience. This is not the first time Apple has released an update with a security fix.
