Apple’s latest updates are out for iPhones and Macs – get them now!
2020-07-17 15:08

For the protection of our customers, Apple doesn't disclose, discuss or confirm security issues until an investigation has occurred and patches or releases are generally available.

Of course, we know now that Apple did know about the Vim issue mentioned above, and has patched it at last, so any users who were wondering about it can now scratch that one off their list of concerns.

The CoreAudio, ImageIO, and Model I/O system libraries are all listed as having file processing bugs, but Apple hasn't given an exhaustive list of which file formats are the risky ones.

So there's a wry irony that the very tool that's supposed to help you submit security reports to Apple could be abused by a malicious app to let it wriggle out of those sandox safety constraints.

Depending how many Apple devices you have, you should be on some, many or all of: iOS 12.4.8, iOS 13.6, macOS 10.15.6, macOS 10.13.6 with Security Update 2020-004, macOS 10.14.6 with Security Update 2020-004, and Safari 13.1.2.
