The screenshot by Zach McAuliffe/CNET Apple did not specify what the update fixed. Usually, Apple publishes a release note of an update and CVE entries online after a short period of pushing an update.
Apple hasn’t posted this information as of yet, but Apple has previously told CNET that it could take some time for this information to be posted on the web.
CNET will update this story as more information becomes available. For more on iOS 17, these include all the features of the iPhone that come with iOS 17.4 and iOS 17.3, respectively. Be sure to also check our iOS 17 Cheat Sheet.
