About Apple security updates
For the protection of our customers, Apple doesn’t disclose, discuss, or confirm security issues until an investigation has occurred and patches or releases are generally available. This document lists recent releases.
If you need technical support for a security issue—for example, to reset your Apple ID password or to review a recent App Store charge—view the Get help with security issues article.
If you believe you have discovered a security or privacy vulnerability in an Apple product, learn how to file a report.
