Apple recently released a security update Safari for old versions of macOS (macOS Ventura and macOS Monterey), recommended for all users.

According to the company Apple, in the update Safari 17.4.1 resolves a vulnerability in WebRTC that allowed arbitrary code execution during image processing. The company credits the discovery of this security vulnerability to Nick Galloway from Google's Project Zero, which has previously reported other vulnerabilities to the company Apple.

So, to protect devices against cyber attacks and exploits, it is important that all devices have their operating systems updated to the latest versions.

To update Safari or the operating system macOS / iOS, open System Settings > General> Software Update.

I am happy to share my experiences in the field of computers, mobile phones and operating systems, to develop web projects and to bring the most useful tutorials and advice. I like to "play" on the iPhone, MacBook Pro, iPad, AirPort Extreme and on operating systems macOS, iOS, Android and Windows.
