Apple on Tuesday rolled out iOS 18.6, iPadOS 18.6, macOS Sequoia 15.6, watchOS 11.6, tvOS 18.6, and visionOS 2.6 to the public, addressing a bug in the Photos app that affected movie sharing while primarily focusing on patching numerous security vulnerabilities.
For iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, the updates resolve over two dozen CVEs, tackling issues in the Metal graphics API, WebKit, networking, and filesystem permissions. The other OS updates address many of the same vulnerabilities.
Apple’s release notes indicate that none of these flaws are currently being exploited in the wild, so while prompt updating is recommended, no known zero-day vulnerabilities are present.
For EU users, iOS and iPadOS 18.6 also introduce support for alternative app stores and direct app installations from websites, complying with the EU’s Digital Markets Act.
