Microsoft today issued security updates to fix a whopping 130 flaws in Windows etc, including 4 zero-day vulnerabilities. MSFT issued an advisory for but did not patch a fifth zero-day that is being exploited by ransomware crooks reportedly working in support of Russian intelligence operations. Meanwhile, Apple issued and then pulled a patch for a zero-day flaw in iOS and macOS. The Apple flaw is fixed in iOS/iPadOS 16.5.1, macOS 13.4.1, and Safari 16.5.2.

Apple & Microsoft Patch Tuesday, July 2023 Edition – Krebs on Security

@briankrebs okay THANK YOU. Because I was so confused that I downloaded the iOS patch, was going to install it later and now can’t. Still have an alert on my phone that there is an update, but when I clicked on it, nothing was there. You rock
@SarahOestreich @briankrebs happened to me, too -- so glad to know it wasn't just me

Also the WebKit 0-day is tracked as CVE-2023-37450, for anybody wondering.

@briankrebs The sentence β€œThe latest security update that includes the fix for the zero-day bug should be available in iOS/iPadOS 16.5.1” is really confusing – nothing is available right now as Apple pulled 16.5.1 (a), as you wrote above.
@briankrebs and I wonder how many Macs and Windows machines are out there still being used but no longer receiving updates? (I know my iMac is going to fall into that category soon)
@briankrebs Linux all the way πŸ‘βš˜
