A branch of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Thursday advised Americans and companies to update their iPhones and other Apple devices due to potentially serious security problems.

Apple this week released iOS 17.4 and iOS 17.4, which offers multiple patches for four vulnerabilities, including two that impact users’ privacy, a memory corruption issue that can be exploited by attackers, and another memory corruption issue impacting its real-time operating system that also can be exploited. One of the security flaws could lead to an attacker being able to “access user-sensitive data,” it said.
