Yes, thanks. Heard about it on a recent episode of SecurityNow with Steve Gibson. I had already updated my iOS version last week anyhow.

Thanks for posting,

@dcontestiA good point, I did not hesitate, as soon as the software update was available on Friday last week, I patched both Iphone and Laptop.

Apple generally do not release patches without there being a good reason.
