Apple has launched a software update today to fix a problem that it had previously fixed – and then not corrected. The 12.4.1 update introduces a patch for a vulnerability in which, according to Apple, "a malicious application may possibly execute arbitrary code with system privileges" – a hotfix originally introduced in May and removed in June .
Here's what happened: The fix was released on May 13 via iOS 12.3 to protect Apple mobile devices (iPhone 5S and later, iPad Air and later, and the sixth generation iPod touch) from a vulnerability that expose them to the jailbreak. Everything is fine – until a new update, iOS 12.4, cancels the fix inadvertently and makes the devices susceptible to attack, making it necessary to quickly release this update additional.
Apple added to the support page announcing the new update: "We would like to thank @ Pwn20wnd for their support." The team that inadvertently deleted the initial patch was not acknowledged. things are going well.
Other additional updates sent today include watchOS 5.3.1, tvOS 12.4.1 and macOS 10.14.6.
