During the previous period, Apple faced a “zero-day” security problem that affected the company’s numerous platforms, including macOS, watchOS and tvOS.

An emergency patch has been released for Apple devices, which run under the operating systems affected by the problem. Owners of each of these devices should check for a new version of the operating system and make the appropriate updates.

One of the major CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure) affects all devices and is described as CVE-2022-22675. CVE-2022-22674 is documented on macOS devices. Both CVEs can create memory errors and enable kernel-level code execution.
