Apple Releases iOS 26.6.1 and iOS 18.7.10 With Critical WebKit and Kernel Security Patches

Apple $AAPL issues iOS 26.6.1 and iOS 18.7.10 to patch dozens of iPhone security flaws. The iOS 26.6.1 update fixes three Kernel flaws, nearly 20 WebKit vulnerabilities, and an ImageIO arbitrary code execution bug. The iOS 18.7.10 patch for older devices includes over 30 WebKit fixes and more than a dozen Kernel vulnerabilities. The security updates arrive nearly three weeks after iOS 26.6 patched 90 separate vulnerabilities. Apple confirmed that none of the vulnerabilities fixed in these releases have been exploited in real-world attacks. "WebKit flaws are particularly worrisome as they can potentially become triggered simply through malicious web content, which the iPhone cannot control." — Jake Moore When security updates drop three weeks apart with dozens of kernel-level fixes, waiting on iOS automatic updates becomes an unacceptable security risk.
