The first round of updates was issued on Monday, but the security update notes were held back as the macOS updates had not been released yet. Now that the macOS updates have been released to the public, all the security update information is available. Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s been patched this week.<\/p>\n<h3>iOS 14.7 and iPadOS 14.7<\/h3>\n<p>Available for: iPhone 6s and later, iPad Pro (all models), iPad Air 2 and later, iPad 5th generation and later, iPad mini 4 and later, and iPod touch (7th generation)<\/p>\n<p>New features, functionality and bug fixes include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>MagSafe Battery Pack support for iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max<\/li>\n<li>Air quality information is now available in Weather and Maps for Canada, France, Italy, Netherlands, South Korea, and Spain<\/li>\n<li>(fixed) Dolby Atmos and Apple Music lossless audio playback may unexpectedly stop<\/li>\n<li>Braille displays could show invalid information while composing Mail messages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A total of 37 security issues were addressed in the iOS and iPadOS updates as well. Here are some of them:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Find My<br \/>\n<\/strong>Impact: A malicious application may be able to access Find My data<br \/>\nDescription: A permissions issue was addressed with improved validation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Identity Service<br \/>\n<\/strong>Impact: A malicious application may be able to bypass code signing checks<br \/>\nDescription: An issue in code signature validation was addressed with improved checks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Image Processing<br \/>\n<\/strong>Impact: Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution<br \/>\nDescription: A use after free issue was addressed with improved memory management.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>libxml2<br \/>\n<\/strong>Impact: A remote attacker may be able to cause arbitrary code execution<br \/>\nDescription: This issue was addressed with improved checks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Wi-Fi<br \/>\n<\/strong>Impact: Joining a malicious Wi-Fi network may result in a denial of service or arbitrary code execution<br \/>\nDescription: This issue was addressed with improved checks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Wi-Fi fix likely addresses the uncontrolled format string bug that was triggered when users joined a Wi-Fi network named \u201c%p%s%s%s%s%n\u201d. Discovered in late June of this year, this would cause the iOS or iPadOS device to lose ability to join that network, and in most cases, any other Wi-Fi network after that. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.securityweek.com\/researchers-apple-quietly-patched-0-click-wi-fi-code-execution-vulnerability-ios\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">It was said Apple had addressed this bug<\/a> in its iOS 14.4 release but the vulnerability could still be exploited up to and including iOS 14.6. Let&#8217;s hope this update takes care of this bug once and for all.<\/p>\n<p>The full list of security issues addressed can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-us\/HT212601\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To update your devices, go to <strong>Settings<\/strong> &gt; <strong>General<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Software Update<\/strong> on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
