Quote:Apple released fixes for Catalina and patches for iCloud and iTunes for Windows software.
Apple wasted little time snuffing out bugs in its macOS Catalina operating system. On Tuesday, Apple rolled out 16 patches addressing a wide range of Catalina bugs in components such as CoreAudio, IOGraphics and WebKit. The security fixes are exclusively for macOS 10.15; so pre-Catalina releases of macOS will have to wait for fixes.
While specifics are scant on each of the bugs addressed, Apple did share some details. Two bugs (CVE-2019-8781, CVE-2019-8717) impact the macOS kernel and would allow for arbitrary code-execution, it reported. Both are tied to memory-corruption issues. In one case, Apple said the flaw was addressed via improved state management, and in the other via improved memory handling.
