Apple security update 14.42/18/2023 ![]() ![]() Impact: Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to universal cross site scripting. Here's what Apple's security support page says:Īvailable 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) It's that security link that contains the real information. This update provides important security updates and is recommended for all users.įor information on the security content of Apple software updates, please visit the website: The release notes for iOS 14.4.2 and iPadOS 14.4.2 are minimal, simply stating: Like iOS/iPadOS 14.4.1 before it, this update addresses a security flaw.Īdditionally, Apple released a similar security update-12.5.2-for older devices like the iPhone 5S or 6 that cannot run iOS 14. What exactly are the Software Update settings supposed to do? From reading all the above comments, it looks like each device seems to have a mind of its own regardless as to how the settings are toggled, or each person is readying something different into what the dialog boxes state (which is mostly the case for me).Today, Apple began rolling out iOS 14.4.2, iPadOS 14.4.2, and watchOS 7.3.3, and the company issued an advisory to users to upgrade as soon as possible. I really don’t want that, but I don’t see a way of getting out of the screen without typing in my password, but as I usually charge my devices during the day, I am never too concerned that the the overnight update will take place except for this time and on both devices. Whenever I get that message the device always asks me if I want to update now, which I say no, and then has me enter my password to update overnight when plugged in and connected to Wi-Fi. Sometimes I get a message saying it tried to update, but I was not plugged in and connected to Wi-Fi. Sometimes I get a download, sometimes I don’t. Sometimes I get a badge, sometimes I don’t. Which in practice never seems to happen, or happens inconsistently on both devices. Which in my mind, I believe, will give me a badge that there is an update, have the update downloaded and ready to install, but not perform the update until I tell the device to do so. My preferences for updates remained the same for automatic updates, Download iOS Updates is toggled to green and Install iOS Updates is toggled to gray. I could not tell you how long it took, as they updated overnight, as they were charging. It’s a quick update (60.6 MB on an Apple Watch Series 4) but does require that the watch be on its charger and charged to at least 50%.Īs always, let us know in the comments if you notice any other changes after installing.īoth my iPhone 7 Plus and 6th generation iPad updated successfully, but accidentally, without a problem. watchOS 7.3.3: Open the Watch app on your iPhone and go to My Watch > General > Software Update.The iPadOS 14.4.2 update weighs in at 129.2 MB on a 10.5-inch iPad Pro. iOS 14.4.2 and iPadOS 14.4.2: Install the iOS 14.4.2 update (203.9 MB on an iPhone 11 Pro) from Settings > General > Software Update.We recommend installing this update sooner rather than later. We presume that iOS 13 didn’t receive an update because Apple assumes all devices running iOS 13 could update to iOS 14. You know the vulnerability is concerning because Apple is also updating the obsolete iOS 12. These updates come just weeks after updates for another WebKit vulnerability (see “ iOS 14.4.1, iPadOS 14.4.1, macOS 11.2.3 Big Sur, and watchOS 7.3.2 Address WebKit Security Vulnerability,” 8 March 2021). Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited. Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to universal cross site scripting. While we await iOS 14.5 and related updates, Apple has released iOS 14.4.2, iPadOS 14.4.2, and watchOS 7.3.3, as well as iOS 12.5.2 to address what appears to be yet another severe security vulnerability in WebKit: IOS 14.4.2, iPadOS 14.4.2, iOS 12.5.2, and watchOS 7.3.3 Address Serious WebKit Issue #1621: Apple Q3 2022 financials, Slack's new free plan restrictions, which OS features do you use?. ![]() #1622: OS feature survey results, Continuity Camera webcam preview, OWC miniStack STX.#1623: How to turn off YouTube's PiP, use AirPlay to Mac, and securely erase Mac drives.#1624: Important OS security updates, rescuing QuickTake 150 photos, AirTag alerts while traveling.#1625: Apple's "Far Out" event, the future of FileMaker, free NMUG membership, Quick Note and tags in Notes, Plex suffers data breach.
