Apple backports zero-day patches to older iPhones and Macs

https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/apple-backports-zero-day-patches-to-older-iphones-and-macs/

Apple has released security updates that backport fixes for actively exploited vulnerabilities that were exploited as zero-days to older versions of its operating systems.

At the same time, the consumer tech giant released security updates for the latest stable iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, addressing numerous security flaws.


Includes such ancient operating systems as
ios 15,16 and 17
MacOS 13,14 and 15

It looks like the zero-days have been used for specific targets, but specific targets could include protestors.
