Apple Updates Everything
Today, Apple released updates for all of its operating systems. These updates include new AI features. For iOS 18 users, the only upgrade path is iOS 18.1, which includes the AI features. Same for users of macOS 15 Sequoia. For older operating systems versions (iOS 17, macOS 13, and 14), patches are made available, addressing only the security issues.
None of the vulnerabilities is marked as already exploited. The update fixes several lock screen bypass issues and cross-application/sandbox escape issues. Overall, I didn't spot a "mast patch now" issue. Many of the lock screen bypass issues can often be eliminated.
Apple patched a total of 67 vulnerabilities.
Breakdown of vulnerabilities by operating system:
