  My friend sent a warning that said iOS users should update WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business right away from the App Store because these vulnerabilities, if exploited, can lead to memory corruption, crashes and potentially code execution.

  Indian cyber security agency, Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) has issued a warning against multiple vulnerabilities in the older versions of WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business on iOS.

  As per reports, the severity rating of the vulnerability has been marked as ‘high’.

  The alert issued by CERT-In warns of two critical vulnerabilities in WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business on iOS – an Improper Access Control vulnerability and a Use-After-Free vulnerability.

  These vulnerabilities have also been disclosed by WhatsApp as a part of its November update in its security advisories.

  Since the vulnerabilities affect older versions of both WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business, it is recommended that iOS users update their apps immediately from the App Store to bring in the latest security patches.

  I thank God for me having such good friends!
