Today, Apple released updates patching two vulnerabilities that have already been exploited. Interestingly, according to Apple, the vulnerabilities have only been exploited against Intel-based systems, but they appear to affect ARM (M"x") systems as well.
CVE-2024-44308
A vulnerability in JavaScriptCore. It could be triggered by the user visiting a malicious web page and may lead to arbitrary code execution.
CVE-2024-44309
This vulnerability affects WebKit. A vulnerability in the cookie management system may lead to cross-site scripting. The description is sparse, but it may indicate that an attacker could set a malicious cookie that will inject JavaScript or HTML into a web page.
Patches have been released for Safari and all of Apple's operating systems (including iOS/iPadOS/VisionOS, which is not used on Intel-based systems).
