The update fixes two vulnerabilities that existed in the previous software, iOS 16.4, which was released at the end of March.

This means that they could run any code they wanted on a device without the owner’s knowledge. This code can give them access to private data, allow them to check the functionality of the device and install malware. It could even allow them to take control of other devices connected to the network or internet the original was connected to.
