Apple Releases Updates to iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and macOS to Fix Exploited Vulnerabilities (September 7, 2023)
Apple today released iPadOS and iOS 16.6.1, watchOS 9.6.2 and macOS Ventura 13.5.2. These updates address two already exploited vulnerabilities, CVE-2023-41061 and CVE-2023-41064. Both vulnerabilities may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple credits the Citizen Lab at The University of Torontoʼs Munk School. Citizen Lab has discovered several vulnerabilities in Apple's operating systems in the past. They often are related to commercial software used by governments to attack activists.
N.B.: Already exploited. So you'll want to install the updates sooner, rather than later.

Thanks. Updated phone and iPad yesterday. Company IT has to approve the update before applying it to the work iPad.
"If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24
