Seriously? Another One?!
Right, listen up, you lot. Apple’s had to slap a patch on iOS 17.5+, iPadOS 17.5+, macOS Sonoma 14.5+ and watchOS 10.5+ because of a zero-day vulnerability – CVE-2025-43300, in case you give a damn. It’s in the WebKit rendering engine, naturally. Because *of course* it is.
Apparently, some targeted attacks were using this to remotely execute code on people’s devices. “Targeted” meaning someone actually bothered to pick specific victims instead of just blasting out ransomware to everyone like every other script kiddie these days. The details are vague as hell – typical Apple security theatre. They’re not telling us *exactly* how bad it was, just that you need to update. Now.
They claim they’ve fixed it with a memory management issue in WebKit. Great. Just fantastic. Means some poor sod somewhere is probably already exploiting the next hole while everyone’s busy installing this patch. And don’t even *think* about skipping it, unless you enjoy having your data pilfered.
Update your bloody devices. All of them. Before you whine to me when you get owned. I swear, dealing with Apple security is like patching a sieve with duct tape while the ocean’s trying to flood it.
Speaking of zero-days… I once had to deal with a Solaris box that was getting hammered by a buffer overflow in the X server. The vendor’s “fix” involved disabling half the functionality of the GUI. Half! Users were thrilled, naturally. Reminds me of Apple. Just slap a bandaid on it and call it a day. Honestly.
