Apple Security Patches By SecureMac.com Apple has issued a few updates for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. And although this is just a “minor” round of updates, the potential security impact is fairly significant. iOS 15.6.1, iPadOS 15.6.1, and macOS Monterey 12.5.1 all address the same two CVE vulnerabilities. The first is a kernel issue that could lead to arbitrary code execution; the second, a WebKit flaw that can allow the same thing to happen. Apple says that they are “aware of” reports that the issues may have been exploited in the wild — which probably means it’s already happening, reading between the lines a bit. As always, when there’s a security patch like this, you should update all relevant devices right away. About SecureMac  Founded in 1999, SecureMac (www.securemac.com) has been a leading contributor to Apple security since the 2005 release of the original MacScan anti-malware tool. In the years since, SecureMac has continued to play an essential role in providing macOS users with straightforward options for better security. From the development of the faster and more powerful MacScan 3 to the company’s ongoing development of online privacy tool PrivacyScan, users can easily equip themselves for protection. With the addition of The Checklist, SecureMac continues to showcase a deep commitment to accessible security and the importance of digital awareness for all Mac users.
