Apple releases macOS Monterey 11.6.9, macOS Big Sur 11.7.10, iOS 15.7.9, and iPadOS 15.7.9, offers security updates for older devices

If you were hankering for the security updates Apple released last week for older versions of macOS, iOS, and iPadOS, they’re here.

Apple rolled out macOS Monterey 11.6.9, macOS Big Sur 11.7.10, iOS 15.7.9, and iPadOS 15.7.9 on Monday. The updates address a security issue, and can be installed using existing update systems in each operating system, such as under Settings then General then Software Update under iOS and iPadOS.

These patches all include a security update for CVE-2023-41064, where a “maliciously crafted image may lead to arbitrary code execution” via ImageIO. The patch addresses a buffer overflow issue with improved memory handling.

Apple has also stated that it is “aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited.”

CVE-2023-41064’s discovery is credited to The Citizen Lab at The University of Torontos Munk School.
