Currently, new information is spreading on the Internet about a security bug that specifically affects WebKit, which is behind Safari and other browsers on iOS, for example.

Experts from the company drew attention to the error this time Theories, according to which the stumbling block lies in the AudioWorklet component. This ensures the management of audio output on websites and is often responsible for Safari crashes. In this case, an attacker just needs to execute a few correct commands and can use the crack to run malicious code on iPhone, iPad and Mac. There would be nothing special about that in itself. In short, there were, are and will be mistakes here. In any case, the interesting thing is that Apple knows about this particular case, since the developers themselves already pointed out three weeks ago way, how the whole situation could be resolved.

In addition, new versions of Apple operating systems were released on Monday. It would therefore be logical if, in addition, there was a publication of a possible way for this particular ailment to be solved thereby. However, this did not happen and the error persists in the systems. However, experts have not revealed how to specifically exploit the bug. Nevertheless, this is a relatively serious security risk that should be eliminated as quickly as possible. Whether the security patch will come with the iOS 14.7 system, which is only at the start of its testing, or whether Apple will release one more minor update, is of course unclear for now.
