With security becoming a key concern for users around the world, tech giants are fast to react and release updates. In the most recent case, Apple has now released new updates for its software on iPhones, iPads and Macs to fix two such vulnerabilities, known by the company to be actively exploited by hackers. 

The two vulnerabilities were found in WebKit, the browser engine that powers Safari and other apps, and the kernel, essentially the operating system's core. The two flaws affect iOS, iPadOS and macOS Monterey, report TechCrunch.

The tech giant said the WebKit bug could be exploited if a vulnerable device accessed or processed "maliciously crafted web content (that) may lead to arbitrary code execution".
