Apple users of certain older generations of iPhones, iPads and iPods are being urged to install a new security update.
In a Jan. 23 notification, Apple highlighted the impact of a vulnerability recently discovered by Google’s threat analysis group.
Processing “maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution,” the tech giant said.
“Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited against versions of iOS released prior to iOS 15.1,” it said.
