Apple has disgorged its latest patches, fixing more than 50 CVE-numbered security vulnerabilities in its range of supported products.
The relevant security bulletins, update numbers, and where to find them online are as follows:
- APPLE-SA-2022-07-20-1: iOS 15.6 and iPadOS 15.6, details at HT213346
- APPLE-SA-2022-07-20-2: macOS Monterey 12.5, details at HT213345
- APPLE-SA-2022-07-20-3: macOS Big Sur 11.6.8, details at HT213344
- APPLE-SA-2022-07-20-4: Security Update 2022-005 Catalina, details at HT213343
- APPLE-SA-2022-07-20-5: tvOS 15.6, details at HT213342
- APPLE-SA-2022-07-20-6: watchOS 8.7, details at HT213340
- APPLE-SA-2022-07-20-7: Safari 15.6, details at HT213341
As usual with Apple, the Safari browser patches are bundled into the updates for the latest macOS (Monterey), as well as into the updates for iOS and iPad OS.
But the updates for the older versions of macOS don’t include Safari, so the standalone Safari update (see HT213341 above) therefore applies to users of previous macOS versions (both Big Sur and Catalina are still officially supported), who will need to download and install two updates, not just one.
