Yesterday Apple published 6 security advisories fixing vulnerabilities in iOS, iTunes, Safari, OS X, watchOS and tvOS. Along with fixes for in-house developed components, Apple introduces patches for third-party software, such as popular libraries. In the table below you can view brief analysis of patched vulnerabilities and their scoring.

Most of the severe vulnerabilities were patched in third-party libraries, such as OpenGL, libxml2. Also Safari browser had critical security issues with WebKit, which should be addressed ASAP.

Interesting moment about Siri in iPhone. It appears that it is possible to access contacts and photos from the lock screen.

We advise to install patches as soon as possible to keep your systems secure.
