Apple on Tuesday stopped signing iOS & iPadOS 17.5, just over a week after releasing iOS & iPadOS 17.5.1 to fix a frustrating bug where iPhone or iPad users may sometimes find deleted photographs surfacing in their Photos app.
Apple on Monday released iOS & iPadOS 17.5, with a substantial part of that update incorporating a handful of security patches. At the very top of Apple’s “About the security content of iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5” web page is CVE-2024-27804, a peculiar kernel vulnerability in AppleAVD which had the potential impact of an app being able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
