Apple issued a whole bunch of security patches for Safari, iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and macOS yesterday. The patches address a kernel-level flaw in the various operating systems, and a flaw in WebKit, the programming framework used by Safari, Apple Mail, and a ridiculously large number of other applications and utilities.
The patches are:
Safari 16.5.1 – for macOS Big Sur and macOS Monterey (included in the updates for Big Sur and Monterey, shown below)
iOS 16.5.1 – for iPhone 8 and later
iPadOS 16.5.1 – for iPad Pro (all models), iPad Air 3rd generation and later, iPad 5th generation and later, and iPad mini 5th generation or later
iOS 15.7.7 – for iPhone 6S (all models), iPhone 7 (all models), iPhone SE (1st generation)
iPadOS 15.7.7 – for iPad Air 2, iPad mini (4th generation), and iPod touch (7th generation)
macOS Ventura 13.4.1 – for all Macs running Ventura
macOS Monterey 12.6.7 – for all Macs running Monterey
macOS Big Sur 11.7.8 – for all Macs running Big Sur
watchOS 9.5.2 – for Apple Watch Series 4 or later
watchOS 8.8.1 – for Apple Watch Series 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and SE
Update as soon as possible.
Thanks for the info re OS systems. I checked my Apple equipment and all were running the latest except my iPhone, so I upgraded it. What would we do without you?
