The first security issue patched in the update involves arbitrary code execution with kernel privileges. This can give someone access to personal files, install malicious code or programs, and make alterations to the system.
The other issue fixed is a WebKit vulnerability that can lead to code execution, allowing for unauthorized commands to be executed on the device.
