Apple has detailed the security content for iOS 16.7.15, iOS 15.8.7, iPadOS 16.7.15, and iPadOS 15.8.7, confirming that the updates address the Coruna vulnerability disclosed last week by Google and iVerify. Here are the details.
Apple moved quickly after the Coruna exploit became public
A few days ago, Google and iVerify published details on Coruna, an exploit that chained multiple vulnerabilities to target iPhones running older iOS versions.
In a nutshell, the exploit leverages five full iOS exploit chains and 23 vulnerabilities on devices running iOS 13 through iOS 17.2.1.
Earlier today, Apple released iOS 16.7.15, iOS 15.8.7, iPadOS 16.7.15, and iPadOS 15.8.7, stating only that the system updates contained “important security fixes”.
Now, Apple has published the security content for the updates, confirming that they address kernel and WebKit vulnerabilities associated with the Coruna exploit, and that they fix it on “devices that cannot update to the latest iOS version.”
