It never hurts to run a security update.
Following up on its recently released iOS 17.4.1, iPadOS 17.4.1, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1, and macOS Ventura 13.6.6 software updates, Apple has now released a standalone update for Safari, its own web browser, with the same patches included with macOS 14.4.1.
As detailed on Apple’s website, Safari 17.4.1 fixes an exploit in WebRTC that allowed arbitrary code to be executed when processing images. Apple says that an “out-of-bounds write issue was addressed with improved input validation” and credits Nick Galloway of Google Project Zero for finding and reporting the exploit.
The standalone Safari update is available for Macs running macOS Monterey 12.0 or later and macOS Ventura 13.0 or later.
To update Safari on your Mac, open the System Settings app, click on the General menu, and then choose Software Update. Click the Update Now button and the process has begun.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
