Apple unveiled important security updates for iOS and macOS, targeting more than 70 vulnerabilities.
The updates, which include iOS 18.1 and iPadOS 18.1, address 28 security issues that could potentially expose sensitive information or allow unauthorized access to system files.
Enhancements in authentication processes, input validation, and memory management were implemented to mitigate these risks.
In conjunction with these mobile updates, macOS Sequoia 15.1 was released, fixing 59 security flaws, including 15 that are also addressed in the iOS updates.
Key affected components encompass Safari, Kernel, and various system frameworks like CoreText and Foundation.
Older devices were not overlooked; updates such as iOS 17.7.1 and iPadOS 17.7.1 resolve an additional 17 vulnerabilities.
Apple also rolled out updates for macOS Sonoma and Ventura, each correcting over 40 defects.
Although there have been no reports of these vulnerabilities being exploited, users are encouraged to update their devices immediately for improved security.
