iOS 17.1 has several security patches
The latest security patches in iOS 17.1, iPadOS 17.1, macOS Sonoma 14.1 and the other operating system updates cover a range of potential exploits and vulnerabilities.
Apple has shared the security patch notes for its latest updates, and the list is extensive. Big point releases like iOS 17.1 generally have a lot of patches, but the number is somewhat surprising given iOS 17 had several smaller updates before the point one.
There are a significant number of patches across every operating system, so we won’t be listing everything here. Instead, here are some patches shared across multiple operating systems.
Other issues included WebKit vulnerabilities that could lead to arbitrary code execution, a weather bug that could give an app access to sensitive data, and a status bar issue that caused devices to fail to lock. The iOS 17.1 and iPadOS 17.1 page had eighteen fixes alone.
