Apple pushed iOS version 12.5.6 for older models to fix serious vulnerabilities

Some old models of Apple in its early years, such as the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6, have been unable to upgrade the system after the IOS 12, but Apple still keeps paying attention to these old models. Recently, Apple pushed the iOS 12.5.6 version for older models that cannot upgrade the system after the IOS 12, and fixed some vulnerabilities in the IOS 12.

Recently, Apple launched a wave of new versions of the iOS system to old iPhone devices that cannot upgrade beyond iOS 12. The version number is iOS 12.5.6.

The statement of Apple's security update website is as follows:

CVE-2022-32893 submitted by an anonymous researcher.

Updates apply to: iPhone 5s, iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3 and iPod touch (6th generation)

Impact: maliciously crafted web content may execute arbitrary code. There are reports that this issue may have been actively exploited.

Description: The out of bounds write problem has been solved by improving the boundary check.

This may be the last time Apple has pushed the system to these old devices.

This is Apple's first update to iOS 12 since September 2021, when Apple fixed a problem that enabled maliciously crafted PDFs, Web content and apps to execute code. The latest update addresses vulnerabilities that have been patched in iOS 15 since the last update.

IOS 12.5.6 mainly fixes the loopholes in the IOS system, making the IOS 12 system more problematic. Therefore, if you are using a model that cannot be upgraded to the IOS 12 system, it is recommended that you update this version as soon as possible to make your mobile phone system more secure.
