CVE-2016-4657
Apple iOS
Apple iOS WebKit contains a memory corruption vulnerability that allows attackers to execute remote code or cause a denial-of-service (DoS) via a crafted web site. This vulnerability could impact HTML parsers that use WebKit, including but not limited to Apple Safari and non-Apple products which rely on WebKit for HTML processing.
Exploitation status
- CISA has confirmed this is being exploited in the wild. That is an observation of real attacks, not a prediction.
- US federal civilian agencies are required to remediate it by 2022-06-14. That deadline does not bind private companies, but it is a reasonable benchmark for how urgently CISA views it.
Required action
Apply updates per vendor instructions.
