Apple will fix bugs and address security issues on the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with the release of iOS 4.3.2 in about two weeks, according to Boy Genius Report.

The latest in what's becoming a regular schedule of tweaks to Apple's mobile operating system will also include a few unspecified "enhancements," BGR wrote Thursday, citing "one of our Apple ninjas."

The last update to the operating system, iOS 4.3.1, arrived in late March.

The news doesn't indicate whether iOS 4.3.2 will fix vulnerabilities that allowed hackers to jailbreak iOS 4.3.1, or the iPad 2 just days after it was released. One managed to get Cydia running on the device and another exploited a flaw in Apple's Safari mobile Web browser that may have been fixed without comment from Apple.

The iOS 4.3.1 update did fix a fourth-generation iPod touch graphics glitch, a cellular network connectivity issue, an image flicker affecting some TVs when using Apple Digital AV Adapter, and an authentication issue with some enterprise Web services.

The update was made available for the iPhone 3GS and GSM iPhone 4, iPad, iPad 2 and third- and fourth-generation iPod touch devices.

Apple made iOS 4.3 available two days before the March 11 release of the iPad 2. The OS added such features as Apple iTunes home sharing, a Nitro JavaScript engine for Safari, a personal hotspot for the iPhone 4, and improvements to AirPlay and the iPad's side slide control.
