Fixes are available for the entire list of Apple gadgets. With the installation, it is better not to delay.

Apple yesterday introduced a number of security updates for its operating systems, including iOS 17.1, iPadOS 17.1, macOS Sonoma 14.1 and others. These updates were introduced on October 25 and cover many potential vulnerabilities and exploits.

Although large numbered updates usually always contain a lot of security fixes, this release was unexpectedly extensive, given that iOS 17 previously received several smaller security updates.

Among the key security updates released yesterday are the following:
  • Contacts, CoreAnimation, ImageIO, IOTextEncryptionFamily, Kernel, and other services for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS: These updates address vulnerabilities related to denial of service or process memory exposures, as well as arbitrary code execution with kernel privileges.
  • Locator for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS: Fixed a vulnerability that allowed apps to read sensitive device location information.
  • mDNSResponder for iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and watchOS: fixed a vulnerability that allows passive tracking of a device by Wi-Fi MAC address.
  • Login Keys and Photos for iOS, iPadOS and macOS: fixed vulnerabilities related to access to access keys and photos without authentication.
  • Siri for iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and watchOS: Added restrictions for accessing sensitive user information using Siri on a locked device.

In addition to the above-mentioned patches, the company's specialists discovered vulnerabilities in WebKit related to the execution of arbitrary code, as well as problems with the weather app and the status bar, which lead to incorrect blocking of devices. Of course, they were also fixed in the latest release.

A complete list of Apple security updates and detailed information is available on the official Apple website in the product-specific security updates subsections.
