The iPhone was plagued with a critical security bug in Apple's Safari browser that could allow hackers to exploit it to access nearly all user's personal information. Apple is now rolling out a fix for this bug with the latest iOS 15.3 update for the eligible iPhone models, including iPhone 13 and iPhone 12. In the release notes, Apple mentioned that the update brings fixes for an iCloud bug that allowed an application to access user's files, a bug in the iOS Crash Reporter that could allow hackers to gain root privileges, a bug in ColorSync feature that could let a maliciously crafted file to run arbitrary code execution when processed. There are a few other minor bugs that Apple listed in the release notes, but the biggest one would be the Safari bug since it also impacts the iPad and the Mac.
