According to an advisory issued by CERT-In, multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in iPhone's iOS and iPad's iPadOS which “could allow an attacker to trigger denial-of-service (DoS) condition, execute arbitrary code, sensitive information disclosure and bypass security restriction on the targeted system.”

The advisory, numbered CIVN-2024-0090, highlights that these security vulnerabilities arise due to multiple issues. Researchers found improper validation in files such as Bluetooth, MediaRemote, Photos, Safari and WebKit component.

Moreover, newer devices running on iOS and iPadOS 17.4 may be at risk. This includes a vast majority of devices such as the iPhone 15 series, iPhone 14 series, iPad 10th generation and more.

Warcraft Adventure War Additional Character Slots Likely Not Available for Patch 10.2.7 - Mention Removed

Blizzard removed the mention of additional character slots to be available with Patch 10.2.7 from their blog post. This likely means this change won't be happening with Timerunning: Pandaria. Originally, Blizzard had mentioned in their announcement that additional character slots would be available with Remix: Mists of Pandaria. As Remix plays on normal realms, players are limited to the existing 60 character limit per WoW account. Thus, if someone is already capped on their character count, they will need to delete a character to play Remix: Mists of Pandaria, as the game mode requires a fresh character. It could be the case that they are still going to implement this change ultimately, as PTR changes happen often, but it is unlikely as the mention has been removed from their announcement blog.
