Security News > 2020 > July > This week of never-ending security updates continue. Now Apple emits dozens of fixes for iOS, macOS, etc
Apple has released a fresh batch of software security updates for its flagship devices.
For iOS and iPadOS the 13.6 update includes fixes for 29 CVE-listed vulnerabilities, 10 involving arbitrary code execution.
They include a code execution bug in CoreAudio, code execution in Catalina Graphics Drivers, Mickey Jin's Image I/O flaw, Holger Fuhrmannek's Model I/O code execution bug, a macOS Security code execution flaw found by researcher Alexander Holodny and code execution in vim.
Code execution bugs are likely to be less of an issue on the tightly controlled WatchOS and tvOS platforms, but you should still install the security updates to be on the safe side.
The Apple updates are the latest in what has been an epic week for security fixes.
