fix two major security bugs

Apple recently released iOS 17.4.1 and macOS 14.4.1, two updates intended to fix errors on iPhone and Mac, but they are bigger than they seem. As the company itself confirmed in a support document, these two updates fix two major security bugs of our devices.

It appears that these errors were present in Safari, so Apple also updated the app on older Macs and also released an iOS 16 update for iPhones that cannot install iOS 17, in iOS 16.7.7 , these are also resolved errors.

iOS 17.4.1 now available for iPhone

Two important bugs are fixed in the new Apple updates

These two errors have been fixed in the latest updates but in previous versions they are still active, so We recommend installing iOS 17.4.1 and macOS 14.4.1 as soon as possible, iPadOS 14.4.1 is also available which resolves these same errors. Both bugs were found by the Google Project Zero team and here is how Apple describes them to you:
