The first issue involved the potential for an application "to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges," according to Apple’s security updates website.

A kernel is the central component of a computer’s operating system and it manages all of the operations and hardware. The kernel acts as a bridge between "applications and data processing performed at hardware level using inter-process communication and system calls," according to Geeksforgeeks.org.

Regional head of Homeland Security shares concerns about fallout from Trump raid, border security
DALLAS, Texas - Federal law enforcement officials say there is growing concern that federal agents will be targeted in retaliation for the FBI executing a search warrant at former President Donald Trump's estate in Florida.Lester Hayes Jr., the new special agent in charge of Homeland Security investigations in the North Texas and Oklahoma region, says federal law enforcement is monitoring potential threats online."I've never witnessed this never thought it would manifest itself in this way," said Hayes. The search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate led to armed protests outside the Phoenix FBI office and a shootout in Cincinnati with a man who tried to storm the FBI office.RELATED: Timeline of events leading up to FBI search of Trump's homeRELATED: Ohio FBI shooting: Gunman reportedly threatened agency following raid of Trump's homeHayes has been a member of federal law enforcement for more than 20 years, but only recently came to Dallas.He says he is focused on border security because what comes across Texas-Mexico border often comes through Dallas and on to the rest of the country."Not only drugs, but people," Hayes said. "They are all traveling on the same highway." The Department of Homeland Security is also conducting multiple investigations into catalytic converter thefts across North Texas.A Dallas man confronted a suspect who appeared to be in the middle of stealing a catalytic converter from his van last week.The car parts are then sold overseas for millions of dollars, according to Hayes.Hayes is asking the community to help law enforcement catch criminals."We want to get out in the community.
