– Bluetooth devices, such as game controllers, may disconnect from your Mac after playing audio through some Beats headphones

– Addresses a security issue in which an AppleAVD issue that could allow an application to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges

– Addresses a security issues in which an Intel Graphics Driver issue that could allow an application to read kernel memory


The ‌‌‌‌‌‌macOS Monterey‌‌‌ 12.3‌‌.1 update can be downloaded on all eligible Macs using the Software Update section of System Preferences.

Apple says these exploits may have been actively exploited, so it is a good idea for all users to update as soon as possible.
