Technical Analysis

From what I can tell this is a UAF vulnerability in WebKit. WebKit vulns are commonly exploited in the wild and this one is no exception with https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212548 noting that active exploitation in the wild has been discovered. It is a little odd that the patched version is noted as version 12.5.4 of iOS given the latest version is 14.6, but if you are still running on the 12.x branch, make sure to update to 12.5.4 to receive the patches for this vulnerability, particularly given it has a working exploit in the wild. This was likely used alongside the WebKit memory corruption vulnerability (see https://attackerkb.com/topics/DwxtgSIUAV/cve-2021-30761) that was patched in the same release to form a full working exploit against iOS devices.
