We mentioned this morning, Apple today launched iOS 18.1.1 and iPadOS 18.1.1, minor updates which improve the experience of iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 released last September. These new versions arrive approximately three weeks after the deployment of iOS 18.1.
Apple rolls out iOS 18.1.1 and iPadOS 18.1.1 with security fixes
The software is available for download for compatible iPhones and iPads via the menu Settings > General > Software Update. At the same time, Apple also released iOS 17.7.2 for devices that are still running iOS 17.
According to the patch notes, iOS 18.1.1 provides essential security fixes. Apple recommends that all users perform this update to strengthen the security of their devices.
The new versions notably correct two critical vulnerabilities in JavaScriptCore And WebKitlikely to have been actively exploited.
These vulnerabilities allow arbitrary code execution or cross-site scripting attacks via malicious web content. Although Intel-based Macs appear to be the most affected, other devices could also be vulnerable due to the same security flaws.
We also hope that they fix bugs like iCloud notes or edited photos.
