Apple updates Safari 15.6.1 with security fixes for macOS Big Sur and Catalina users

Avatar for Filipe Espósito

Apple this week released iOS 15.6.1 and macOS Monterey 12.5.1 , both with security enhancements. And to bring these security enhancements to even more users, the company today released Safari 15.6.1 for Macs running macOS Big Sur and macOS Catalina.

The update doesn’t come with any new features or major changes. Instead, it fixes an exploit in WebKit (Safari’s web engine) that could lead to arbitrary code execution. This fix was already available for users who updated their Macs to macOS Monterey 12.5.1.

However, users with older Macs that are unable to run the latest version of macOS now have access to the same security fixes in Safari.

Here’s what Apple says about the update on its website :

Available for: macOS Big Sur and macOS Catalina Impact: Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited.

Apple has attributed the WebKit exploit fix to an anonymous researcher.

Safari 16 coming soon to older macOS versions

With macOS Ventura, which is now available for developers and beta users, Apple has announced Safari 16 with multiple new features. The new version of Safari addresses one of the main complaints web developers have about Apple’s web browser, which is the lack of web push notifications . This means that websites and web apps can now send notifications to users even when Safari is closed.

Other new features in Safari 16 include Shared Tab Group, strong password editing, improved CSS, and  Passkeys  – a new way to authenticate to websites with Touch ID without having to create a traditional password.

Safari 16 will also be available to users of macOS Monterey and macOS Big Sur later this year, once Apple releases macOS Ventura to the public. Developers and invited users can now try out the beta version of Safari 16 for older macOS versions.

As for the Safari 15.6.1 update, it is now available via the Software Update menu within the System Preferences app.

Apple released macOS Monterey 12.5.1 , iOS 15.6.1 , and iPadOS 15.6.1 yesterday with fixes for both WebKit and kernel vulnerabilities. As noted by Mr. Macintosh on Twitter , a fix for the kernel-related vulnerability has yet to be released for macOS Big Sur or macOS Catalina, but it's unclear if that vulnerability affects those operating systems.

I wish Apple would make Safari on iOS a standalone app so it can be updated independently of iOS

Phantom iCloud tabs Avatar

I thought theoretically they had separated most of the core apps, but I still don’t recall ever seeing an update for them outside of a full OS release or point release. And yet they still choose certain apps that can’t be uninstalled. On the iPhone I can’t think of anything that can’t be uninstalled except maybe App Store itself, but on watch and Mac ironically News for example is there to stay, like it or not.

Exactly. Shutting the whole system down for an hour to update some minor chunk of code in Safari is atrocious design.

ccsicecoke Avatar

Your post makes absolutely zero sense. The benefit is we would get app updates immediately when there are issues instead of having to wait for an entire iOS update to get them. There wouldn’t be a million different configurations, it would be exactly the same as it is now. Apps could just be updated at the same time, just like iOS updates are updated at the same time.

Apple wants everyone to update, and update fast.

Safari Macos High Sierra Customize Website Options

Apple has officially released Safari 15.6.1 to Mac users running macOS Big Sur and macOS Catalina.

The latest update, which brings some usual bug fixes and performance improvements to the browser, also fixes a major security vulnerability that Apple has confirmed was used in the wild.

The fix, which is for WebKit, is available for users running macOS Big Sur and macOS Catalina. It fixes an issue where "processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution."

The full details of the security fix are in the release notes and below:

Apple fixed more than just Safari lately

Safari isn't the only piece of software that has been affected by the security vulnerability. iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and macOS Monterey were also affected by the issue and Apple released updates for all of them yesterday to patch the vulnerability. 

In addition to addressing the WebKit security issue, those updates also addressed a security vulnerability at the kernel level where "an application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited."

Tips & Tricks

Troubleshooting, safari 15.6.1 for macos big sur and macos catalina released.

Safari for Mac

Apple has released Safari 15.6.1 with an important security fix for Macs running macOS Big Sur and macOS Catalina.

The Safari update includes the same security fixes that are available in macOS Monterey 12.5.1 update for Mac users running Monterey, and iOS 15.6.1 and iPadOS 15.6.1 for iPhone and iPad. The latest macOS Ventura beta also apparently includes the same security fix.

The security update is recommended for all Mac users running macOS Big Sur and macOS Catalina.

How to Get Safari 15.6.1 on MacOS Big Sur & Catalina

  • Quit out of Safari
  • From the  Apple menu go to “System Preferences”
  • Choose “Software Update”
  • Choose to download and install Safari 15.6.1

Safari 15.6.1 is only available for MacOS Big Sur and MacOS Catalina. Mac users running MacOS Monterey will find macOS 12.5.1 available to download instead.

Mac users running earlier versions of MacOS system software won’t have a Safari update available, but can instead find protection by using a different web browser entirely, whether it’s Chrome, or Brave.

A description of the flaw on the Apple website is as follows https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213414:

Safari 15.6.1 Released August 18, 2022 WebKit Available for: macOS Big Sur and macOS Catalina Impact: Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited. Description: An out-of-bounds write issue was addressed with improved bounds checking.

Apple releases Safari 15.6.1 to fix zero-day bug used in attacks

Lawrence abrams.

  • August 18, 2022

Apple fixes another zero-day used to deploy NSO iPhone spyware

Apple has released Safari 15.6.1 for macOS Big Sur and Catalina to fix a zero-day vulnerability exploited in the wild to hack Macs.

The zero-day patched today (CVE-2022-32893) is an out-of-bounds write issue in WebKit that could allow a threat actor to execute code remotely on a vulnerable device.

"Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited," warns Apple in a  security bulletin  released today.

An out-of-bounds write vulnerability is when an attacker can supply input to a program that causes it to write data past the end or before the beginning of a memory buffer.

This causes the program to crash, corrupt data, or in the worst-case scenario, remote code execution. Apple says they fixed the bug through improved bounds checking.

Apple says the vulnerability was disclosed by a researcher who wishes to remain anonymous.

This zero-day vulnerability is the  same one that was patched by Apple yesterday  for macOS Monterey and iPhone/iPads.

Apple has not provided details on how the vulnerability is being used in attacks other than saying that it "may have been actively exploited."

This is the seventh zero-day vulnerability fixed by Apple in 2022, with the previous bugs outlined below:

  • In March, Apple  patched two more zero-day bugs  that were used in the Intel Graphics Driver (CVE-2022-22674) and AppleAVD (CVE-2022-22675).
  • In January,  Apple patched two more actively exploited zero-days  that allowed attackers to execute code with kernel privileges (CVE-2022-22587) and track web browsing activity (CVE-2022-22594).
  • In February, Apple released security updates  to fix a new zero-day bug  exploited to hack iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

Apple's latest software upgrade is ready to be installed on your iPhone.

safari update 15.6

  • Carrie has lived on both coasts and can definitively say that Chesapeake Bay blue crabs are the best.

apple-iphone-11-0011

Apple's iOS 15.6 is here and ready to be downloaded to your iPhone. The follow-up to iOS 15.5 , released July 20, folds in bug fixes, a lengthy list of security updates and a new feature for watching live sports in the TV app. 

With iOS 15.6, the TV app will now let you restart live sports games already in progress, as well as pause, rewind and fast-forward. This feature is also available in updates for the iPad and Mac computers. 

Here are Apple's iOS release notes:

iOS 15.6 includes enhancements, bug fixes and security updates. TV app adds the option to restart a live sports game already in-progress and pause, rewind, or fast-forward Fixes an issue where Settings may continue to display that device storage is full even if it is available Fixes an issue that may cause braille devices to slow down or stop responding when navigating text in Mail Fixes an issue in Safari where a tab may revert back to a previous page

This may be the last update to iOS 15 before the company's next mobile software, iOS 16, gets a wide release alongside the  heavily rumored iPhone 14 . The next version of iOS, which is available now in public beta , will bring several new features, including the ability to edit and unsend messages, a new customizable lock screen, changes to notifications, as well as updates to Wallet and Apple Pay. 

Apple also released iPadOS 15.6, MacOS 12.5, WatchOS 8.7 and TVOS 15.6 . In addition to security updates, iPadOS 15.6 and MacOS 12.5 got the same TV app update for live sports as iOS 15.6, while WatchOS 8.7 brought bug fixes, and TVOS 15.6 got performance and stability improvements, according to Apple.

Download: Safari 15.6.1 for Catalina and Big Sur Released

Safari 15.6.1 now available for download.

Apple has just released Safari 15.6.1 for macOS Catalina and macOS Big Sur with important fixes.

You Can Now Download Safari 15.6.1 Update with Extremely Important Security Fixes if You’re Using macOS Catalina or Big Sur

If you refuse to update to macOS Monterey, or your Mac simply does not support the latest version of Apple’s desktop operating system, there’s an important Safari update waiting for you.

Bumped to version 15.6.1, this new update to Safari is available for both macOS Catalina and macOS Big Sur users. While this update does not add anything new to the web browser, it is an extremely important release since it introduces security fixes for a WebKit vulnerability.

safari update 15.6

According to Apple :

Available for: macOS Big Sur and macOS Catalina. Impact: Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited. Description: An out-of-bounds write issue was addressed with improved bounds checking.

If that completely phased you out, then let me put it in simple words - just update to Safari 15.6.1 in order to keep your online activity safe at all times. Staying on the latest version of any software at all is always a great idea.

In order to download the new update, all you have to do is go to System Preferences > Software Update . Just wait for the page to refresh, and the new update will show up in a bit. Install it whenever it shows up.

If you’ve set your Mac to automatically download and install updates, then the update should install within a day or two on its own. But of course, since Safari 15.6.1 is an extremely updated release, therefore it is a good idea to download and install it manually as quickly as possible.

macOS users need to update to Safari 15.6.1 to close a security hole

By Ed Hardy • 7:00 am, August 19, 2022

Safari now has more than 1 billion users.

A recent macOS Monterey update deals with a nasty security problem in WebKit. But Apple is aware many users don’t upgrade to the latest operating system versions, so it also released Safari 15.6.1. The web browser update allows anyone using older macOS versions to avoid the vulnerability.

The browser update is free and available now.

Safari 15.6.1 is available for macOS

A bug in Apple’s WebKit rendering engine discovered by a security researcher allows a malicious web page to execute code without users’ permission. Even worse, “Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited,” warns the Mac-maker.

As noted, the problem is fixed in the recent macOS Monterey 12.5.1 update . And now it also can be taken care of for computers still running macOS Big Sur or macOS Catalina, thanks to the standalone web browser update.

All that’s necessary is to install Safari 15.6.1 . Apple recommends all users of these older macOS versions do so.

The same security hole affected iPhone and iPad but it was removed by iOS 15.6.1 and iPadOS 15.6.1 , which have been available since Wednesday.

How to update Safari

To update Apple’s Mac web browser, click on the Apple menu  then choose System Preferences > Software Update . The new Safari version should be there.

No issue at all! I did this Safari update yesterday...very fast and no problems at all (I´m running Big Sur 11.6.8 on an iMac). If you also have an iPhone I´d recommend also doing the update to iOS 15.6.1. There´s been a lot in the media about possibly serious security leaks in iOS...make of it what you will! Cheers, Ian.

Thanks for the response Guys. I was able to download the new Safari Security update on my iPhone and my iPad quickly and without any issues. However, when I attempted to do the same with my Mac I could not pull up the update. I eventually turned off my "Automatic Updates", restarted my computer and was able to see and download the update. Running a 2014 1.4GHz-Dual Core Intel i5. Assume that may have been my problem.
