Apple released an important update of iOS for all owners of iPhone (iPhone 5s or newer), iPad (iPad Air or newer) and iPod Touch (6 gene).
Apparently, this update solves two serious security problems that recently appeared on iOS devices. According to the words of a Google researcher, the leader of the Google Project Zero team, the vulnerabilities were present through applications such as Twitter and were intensively exploited on the previous iOS version. These vulnerabilities allowed the application a wider access to the basic functions of the devices.
Apple did not provide much information about these security vulnerabilities, but the good part is that they have been resolved and urges all users to update to iOS 12.1.4.
At the same time, a bug was solved FaceTime, reported two weeks ago. Through this bug, the initiator of a group call on FaceTime, causes the invited persons in the conversation to answer the call automatically. Thus, the caller's microphone opened automatically and you could listen to everything that was in the environment near the device.
The update is available for users worldwide, via "Seetings" → "General" → "Software Update” or by iTunes.
