Apple rolls out a fix for a critical ‘vulnerability’ in MacOS Big Sur, Mojave, Catalina, and Mojave. The vulnerability could allow unauthenticated local users to gain root-level privileges on the system. The fix also includes patches for two flaws in Intel Graphics Driver flaws. The vulnerabilities stem from an out-of-bounds write and a race condition, respectively, were rectified with additional validation. Apple users who haven’t opted for updates automatically can head to System Preferences to download and install the latest updates.
