iOS 15.6 security updates

The security issues fixed in the update include AppleAVD where a remote user may have been able to cause kernel code execution, AppleMobileFileIntegrity where an app might have been able to gain root privileges and more. It is important to note that these are internal software issues or bugs that put users’ security at risk. However, the company should be given credit for disclosing the details of all the security issues that have been fixed with the latest iOS and iPad.

Along with iOS 15.6, Apple has also released watchOS 8.7 which also comes with a bunch of improvements, bug fixes and important security updates. Similarly, macOS 12.5 and tvOS 15.6 come with bug fixes. The iOS 15.6 could be one of the last updates that iPhone users receive as Apple has already started working on the upcoming version of iOS, i.e., iOS 16. The developer beta of iOS 16 is already out and it has received three updates so far. Additionally, we are not far away from the announcement of the next iPhone lineup, which is expected to take place in September.
