Apple details the most important security fix included in the iOS 14.8 update.  

The iOS 14.8 update means that it is important for all iPhone users to quickly download and update their iPhone to iOS 14.8 as soon as possible. Apple has included details of the security fixes that were issued days after they received the sample from the security researchers, and the company has credited Citizen Lab with helping fix the issue, according to the report.

The company has also credited an anonymous researcher with fixing a security issue with the WebKit browser engine that affects both iOS 14 and macOS Big Sur 11, which it believes could have been exploited in the wild. Along with iOS 14.8, Apple has also released updates to watchOS 7.6.2 and Big Sur 11.6 as well, and users should download these updates as well, to protect themselves from attackers online.
