"Apple Releases Urgent Security Patches for Zero-Day Exploits"
TL;DR Summary
Apple has released an emergency patch update for all its supported devices, fixing two critical security holes, including a zero-day kernel exploit that may have been exploited on iOS before version 15.7. The exploit was discovered by Kaspersky, who reported on a previously unknown strain of iPhone malware. The malware was injected quietly and automatically onto infected devices, without needing users to make a security blunder. It was reasonable to assume that the attackers knew about one or more closely-guarded zero-day exploits that could be triggered remotely over the internet. It is recommended to patch early and often.
