Apple has recently released updates to its various operating systems. These updates address multiple vulnerabilities, the most severe of which could lead to code execution that could resulting in installing malicious software or even viewing, changing or deleting data.
OIT recommends all Apple users install updates as soon as possible. These apply to iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Safari. Visit your device’s settings to update.
SYSTEMS AFFECTED:
- iOS and iPadOS prior to 15.3
- macOS Monterey prior to 12.2
