iOS 12.1.4. Yesterday, the new version of the operating system for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch was released, bringing a solution to a very serious security problem that affects group FaceTime calls. Apple returned things to normal by releasing iOS 12.1.4, blocking the function on previous versions of the operating system, so that all those who want to use it, must upgrade, or give up the idea that they will have it available.
iOS 12.1.4. Fortunately, two other serious problems of the operating system were also solved by the Google company, they were discovered by Google's computer security researchers. We are talking about zero-day vulnerabilities, which were not known to Apple until they were reported by Google, and unfortunately, they are now being exploited by hackers, so installing iOS 12.1.4 is mandatory right now.
iOS 12.1.4 fixes two serious security issues discovered by Google
iOS 12.1.4. The first vulnerability affects the RAM memory of the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, allowing a hacker to have administrator privileges and control iOS at will, which can be excellent for a jailbreak solution. The second vulnerability is related to another part of iOS, but the exploit has similar results, hackers being able to run unsigned code with administrator privileges, both of which were resolved in iOS 12.1.4 by Apple.
CVE-2019-7286 and CVE-2019-7287 in the iOS advisory today (https://t.co/ZsIy8nxLvU) were exploited in the wild as 0day.

iOS 12.1.4. Considering that Apple has solved this problem for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch, then the installation of the update should be done by all users at the moment in order not to have their iDevices exploited by hackers. So far, the world has not complained of major problems with iOS 12.1.4, so you could wait another 1/2 days before upgrading to the new version of the operating system, or you can avoid it, if you do not think that these vulnerabilities they can affect you.
