Apple fixes vulnerabilities in iOS and iPadOS.
Apple today released iOS/iPadOS 17.0.3. These updates fix two vulnerabilities. A WebRTC vulnerability that could be used to execute arbitrary code, establishing initial access to the device, and a Kernel vulnerability used to elevate privileges. The privilege escalation vulnerability has been exploited against older versions of iOS. See Apple's page about these vulnerabilities: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213961.
