The update can be easily removed, and while Rapid Security Response updates are quick to install, they may not be as thoroughly tested as other system updates. WebKit vulnerabilities in iOS are particularly severe as they affect any app that renders web content. Apple plans to release new updates soon to resolve the issues.
