Where to find detailed information about fixing security bugs in Apple's OS

If you've been using an Apple device for a while now, you certainly know the moment when a security update jumps out at you. When the Cupertino giant releases new versions of its operating systems, it also informs about all the changes. For example, the current iOS 15.2.1 update brings bug fixes related to native Messages and CarPlay. We have to admit, however, that Apple usually informs about possible security changes very bluntly, and at first sight it is not entirely clear what changes it actually brings.

More detailed information about security updates

Although at first glance it may seem that Apple only superficially informs about security updates, in reality it is completely different. In the official notes, in the vast majority of cases we only find a mention of the correction of some errors, but there is also a place where each error is detailed and explained. The Cupertino giant offers a website for these purposes Apple security updates. This website lists all security updates in a simple table, where you can read which system they are for and when they were released.

In the table, all you have to do is select the specific application that interests us the most and click on its name. For our needs, we can choose, for example, iOS 15.2 and iPadOS 15.2. When you go through all the text on the following page, you will immediately notice that Apple is quite detailed about all the threats, risks and their solution. For the sake of interest, we can mention FaceTime, for example. According to the description of the security flaw, users were at risk of an unexpected leak of sensitive user data via metadata from Live Photos. Gigant solved this problem by improving the handling of file metadata. This is exactly how you can read about almost every error on the relevant website. The fact that the entire page is in Czech is also pleasing.

Current update

In addition to security updates, the website also informs about the most up-to-date ones that are currently available. The best thing about it is that everything is explained in detail and in Czech, which can be of great help to, for example, newcomers and less experienced users. In addition, if you would like to read about an older security update that is not even in the table, all you have to do is scroll all the way down and choose from the other links divided by year.
