Apple has already issued patches for these vulnerabilities for newer devices and versions of their operating systems – now they reaching back to older devices.
The patches apply to iOS and iPadOS 16.6 and later on iPhone 8 and later, iPad Pro (all models), iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 5th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation and later. You should check Apple’s advisory for the exact details – and then if you or anyone in your organisation have an affected device – get it patched!

This is a plus mark in the “green” column for Apple by keeping older devices secure and so usable.
