    Hi Jolly Roger,

    It's no longer shocking how ignorant you are of Apple's own written policy. Fixing one bug out of fifteen known bugs is within Apple's stated policy.

    Your brain is that of a retarded five year old, Jolly Roger. Seriously.
    You can't understand something even as _simple_ as that, Jolly Roger.

    Seriously.
    How ignorant are you of Apple's written policy?

    Look it up.
    Which you won't.

    Because you like being ignorant, Jolly Roger.
    It's who you are.

    Hi Ant,

    That's in keeping with Apple's written policy on not fixing all known bugs
    in any release other than the latest (which, for now, is iOS 16 only).

    Also, did you notice it's in Webkit, which _always_ has huge holes in it. CVE-2022-42856: Clement Lecigne of Google's Threat Analysis Group

    And _every_ iOS browser is _forced_ to be built upon that insecure WebKit.

    Worse, Apple didn't find it.
    Apple never finds them.

    Google found it.

    Don't you think it's time Apple started to _look_ for these huge holes?

    Apple Admits It Only Fully Patches Security Flaws In Its Latest OS Releases

    We here at HotHardware regularly advise our readers to ensure that their systems and software are up to date. Updates may include cool new features,
    but most updates are security-driven, patching holes, fixing glitches, and preventing exploits. However, for Apple, apparently not all systems are
    created equal, for not all devices will get complete patches for certain updates.

    Apple loves to tout that they are a leader in security for personal
    computing devices. The company even claimed that "Macs don't have that problem," when referring to viruses in the Mac vs. PC ads of 2006 through
    2009 starring Justin Long and John Hodgman. This obviously is not true, and Apple got in legal hot water for the claim.

    According to a document published by Apple and found by our colleagues over
    at Arstechnica, security researchers' fears have rang true. Old versions of operating systems of Apple devices do not get complete security patches.
    The emphasis in the document is that there is a difference between Upgrade
    and Update, at least in the Apple lexicon.

    To Apple, an Upgrade would be a single major version number. For example,
    going from iOS 15 to iOS 16, or macOS 12 to macOS 13 are upgrades, while anything with a decimal after it is an update. This is interesting, and
    follows suit with a lot of other software number versioning. This also clarifies something involving updates.

    Not all updates line up with each other, if they even happen at all. iOS 16
    is the latest version of iOS, but prior to this was iOS 15.4. Let's say
    that iOS 16 gets an update to iOS 16.1 and it's mostly security updates to
    iOS itself that likely are applicable to iOS 15 versions. In this example,
    iOS 15.4 might not get an update to 15.5 until much later, if at all. The
    same rules apparently apply to iPadOS, and macOS.

    Now, most Macs still have a six to seven year update cycle, and iPhones get five years of updates. These are actually some of the longest timelines for this type of service in the industry. However, if users are not getting the most recent patches and updates for security, this turns into a bit of a
    catch 22-if consumers do want the latest security they are going to have to
    buy the devices that support the latest operating systems. So that actually shortens actual long-term security life-cycle for some devices, as if the device does not support that latest upgrade, it might not get that latest update.

    Apple clarifies security update policy.
    Only the latest OSes are fully patched.
    New document confirms what security researchers have observed for years.
    ANDREW CUNNINGHAM - 10/27/2022, 9:48 PM

    UPGRADE TO GET YOUR UPDATES

    Earlier this week, Apple released a document clarifying its terminology and policies around software upgrades and updates. Most of the information in
    the document isn't new, but the company did provide one clarification about
    its update policy that it hadn't made explicit before: Despite providing security updates for multiple versions of macOS and iOS at any given time, Apple says that only devices running the most recent major operating system versions should expect to be fully protected.

    Apple isn't actually patching all the security holes in older versions.

    Throughout the document, Apple uses "upgrade" to refer to major OS releases that can add big new features and user interface changes and "update" to
    refer to smaller but more frequently released patches that mostly fix bugs
    and address security problems (though these can occasionally enable minor feature additions or improvements as well). So updating from iOS 15 to iOS
    16 or macOS 12 to macOS 13 is an upgrade. Updating from iOS 16.0 to 16.1 or macOS 12.5 to 12.6 or 12.6.1 is an update.

    "Because of dependency on architecture and system changes to any current version of macOS (for example, macOS 13)," the document reads, "not all
    known security issues are addressed in previous versions (for example,
    macOS 12)."

    In other words, while Apple will provide security-related updates for older versions of its operating systems, only the most recent upgrades will
    receive updates for every security problem Apple knows about. Apple
    currently provides security updates to macOS 11 Big Sur and macOS 12
    Monterey alongside the newly released macOS Ventura, and in the past, it
    has released security updates for older iOS versions for devices that can't install the latest upgrades.

    Some Macs are getting fewer updates than they used to.
    Here's why it's a problem.

    This confirms something that independent security researchers have been
    aware of for a while but that Apple hasn't publicly articulated before.
    Intego Chief Security Analyst Joshua Long has tracked the CVEs patched by different macOS and iOS updates for years and generally found that bugs
    patched in the newest OS versions can go months before being patched in
    older (but still ostensibly "supported") versions, when they're patched at
    all.

    This is relevant for Mac users because Apple drops support for older Mac
    and iDevice models in most upgrades, something that has accelerated
    somewhat for older Intel Macs in recent years (most Macs still receive six
    or seven years of upgrades, plus another two years of updates). This means
    that every year, there's a new batch of devices that are still getting some security updates but not all of them. Software like the OpenCore Legacy
    Patcher can be used to get the newest OS versions running on older
    hardware, but it's not always a simple process, and it has its own
    limitations and caveats.

    That said, this probably shouldn't dramatically change your calculus for
    when to upgrade or stop using an older Mac. Most people running an
    up-to-date Big Sur or Monterey installation with an up-to-date Safari
    browser should be safe from most high-priority threats, especially if you
    also keep the other apps on your Mac updated. And Apple's documentation
    doesn't change anything about how it updates older software; it merely
    confirms something that had already been observed.

    We've asked Apple to be more upfront about its security communication, and
    this is a step forward in that regard. But if you believe you're being specifically targeted by attackers, you have another reason to make sure
    your software (and hardware) are fully updated and upgraded.

    The links said what Apple means by an iOS or macOS security update.
    They also said what Apple means by an iOS or macOS security upgrade.

    iOS 15 gets one.
    iOS 16 gets the other.

    You're complaining I don't understand the difference so what do you think

    It seems every iOS device ever made is easily taken over now, which is
    likely the reason why Apple backported some of the most serious of these widespread active serious exploits of almost all iOS devices out there.

    Apple didn't ever say that they would stop support for those old
    versions, just that even with the security updates those old versions of
    iOS were not as secure as current versions.

    When a security flaw is serious enough a manufacturer will do an update. Microsoft has done this with Windows <https://www.wired.com/story/microsoft-windows-xp-patch-very-bad-sign/>
    and Google has done this with Android.

    It's a good thing, not a bad thing, when these updates happen.

    Exactly my point.

    I know how Apple patches releases as it has been in the news for months.
    Why doesn't this Jolly Roger bloke know how Apple patches releases?

    What Apple did to releases way back to iOS 12 is all over the news today.
    The whole world is aware of what happened, except this Jolly Roger bloke.

    Apple only fixes all the bugs they know about in the latest release.
    Apple says so themselves, but this Jolly Roger bloke won't read the links.

    Anything else is up to Apple's discretion where this bug is actively
    exploited, and extremely serious - so Apple decided to patch older releases with JUST this ONE bug (and not all the many others in this latest patch).

    That any company, Apple or Google or Microsoft, decides to patch the most serious and most actively exploited bugs, does not mean that Apple is
    patching all the bugs in any iOS release below iOS 16.

    That is what that Jolly Roger bloke doesn't understand.

    Why can't he understand it?
    I don't know.

    But he can't.

    It's likely that he actually does know, he's just being obstinate to
    annoy you, like many of the trolls in this newsgroup do. The best advice
    is judicious use of your news reader's filter capability.

    Also consider using Reddit for discussions. While Reddit is a pain in
    some ways, like the advertising, at least it has some gentle moderation
    so the kind of disruptive behavior you see on Usenet would not be tolerated.

    in your case, that doesn't happen.

    I read the responses and it's clear Jolly Roger & nospam do not understand
    how Apple patches the iOS (or macOS) release, even though you told them.

    The Apple written policy is an upgrade goes from iOS 15.something to iOS 16.something while an update is from 15.something to 15.something-bigger.

    Using example numbers, an update is iOS 15.6 to iOS 15.7 or going from iOS 15.7.2 to iOS 15.7.3. An example update is from iOS 15.7.2 to iOS 16.3.

    I think nospam understands that but Jolly Roger definitely does not
    understand that but what is much more important that Jolly Roger & nospam
    don't understand is how many of the known fixed bugs Apple puts into any of those updates and upgrades.

    Based on Apple's written policy on how they update iOS (and macOS), what
    Apple does is build a fix to any bug they know of that they want to put in
    any release they want to (just like Microsoft and Google do when the bug is
    so bad they have to go back and fix that one bad bug in older devices), but that isn't a full hotfix update release - it's only a tiny portion of one.

    Even Google and Microsoft will go back eight or more years for a single bug when they have to - just like Apple does when Apple has to do the same.

    But what nospam and Jolly Roger have shown no understanding of is that
    Apple says the only full hotfix is the latest version (iOS 16, for now). https://support.apple.com/guide/depoyment/about-software-updates-depc4c80847a

    You can tell that Jolly Roger and nospam don't understand Apple's policy because they think Apple patched every bug that Apple knows about in iOS 12 when all Apple did was patch the one worst CVE-2022-42856 bug in iOS 12.

    Same with iOS 15 although Apple added a couple more fixed bugs to the mix.

    Neither Jolly Roger nor nospam understand the distinction that you
    understand, which is that one bug or one subset is not the full set.

    That full patch only goes into the latest release, which is iOS 16 today. https://hothardware.com/news/apple-admits-only-fully-patches-security-flaws-in-latest-os-releases
    https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/10/apple-clarifies-security-update-policy-only-the-latest-oses-are-fully-patched/

    As you said though, it could be that Jolly Roger and nospam don't want to understand how Apple patches releases, or it could be they don't understand which is what I think it is.

    Either way, nothing they've said shows an understanding of what Apple does.

    in your case, that doesn't happen.

    I read the responses and it's clear Jolly Roger & nospam do not
    understand how Apple patches the iOS (or macOS) release, even though
    you told them.

    The Apple written policy is an upgrade goes from iOS 15.something to
    iOS 16.something while an update is from 15.something to
    15.something-bigger.

    Using example numbers, an update is iOS 15.6 to iOS 15.7 or going from
    iOS 15.7.2 to iOS 15.7.3. An example update is from iOS 15.7.2 to iOS
    16.3.

    I think nospam understands that but Jolly Roger definitely does not understand that

    Wrong. Anyone with a clue understands that. And only an enormous idiot
    would suggest that something as trivial as a software versioning scheme
    isn't understood by even computing novices.

    But what nospam and Jolly Roger have shown no understanding of is that
    Apple says the only full hotfix is the latest version (iOS 16, for
    now). https://support.apple.com/guide/depoyment/about-software-updates-depc4c80847a

    Wrong yet again. We both understand better than you. And we see right
    through your little lame troll, where you see a post where Apple made
    updates to older devices and think to yourself, "OOOH! OOOH! Now's my
    chance! I'll go ahead and make a post claiming Apple doesn't /really/ do updates to older devices in this thread to disrupt it!!! #IAmVerySmart! #TrollBois-R-Us!"

    Either way, nothing they've said shows an understanding of what Apple
    does.

    Projection from the troll farm. #MOO

    There's no sense continuing with you.

    Both Jolly Roger & nospam think that because Apple patched one critical vulnerability in iOS 12 then by golly, Apple has (in their minds) just
    *FULLY PATCHED* the iOS 12 release which shipped more than four years ago.

    By that same measure, Google *FULLY PATCHED* Android from a decade ago. Likewise with Microsoft.

    What Jolly Roger and nospam can't understand is that patching one critical vulnerability is not the same thing as patching all that Apple knows about.

    Neither Jolly Roger nor nospam can understand Apple only fully patches the current release, which at this point in time is iOS 16 and only iOS 16. https://support.apple.com/guide/deployment/about-software-updates-depc4c80847a/

    There's no sense in even continuing because both of them can't understand
    that Apple doesn't update releases only in the way they wish Apple did.

    How could you go on, post after post, and still not understand how Apple updates the iOS release stream for iPads and for iPhones?

    Only after you can answer this question correct, will you understand.

    Did Apple give iOS 12 the full patch of all critical security issues
    that Apple knows are in iOS 12 (like Apple did with iOS 16 this week)?

    I understand that you think they do, but they haven't demonstrated any capability to understand since they insist that a single critical
    vulnerability is the entire list of known bugs in any one release.

    I think they actually believe one bug is everything there ever will be. Forever. One bug. That's it. Forever iOS 12 is "patched" in their minds.

    Anyways, it's no use, as I agree with your recommendation to give up.
    They don't understand Apple releases. They probably never will.

    At least you do.
    As do I.

    I know you can't stand the truth. None of your little troll gang can

    12 which runs on devices that are ten years old. And that's why you are

    The only person here making that bullshit claim is you, Arlen. : ) But
    speaking of Google / Android, here's Google patching the same sort of
    type confusion vulnerability in Chrome that Apple just patched:

    Google Chrome emergency update fixes 9th zero-day of the year <https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/google-chrome-emergency-update-fixes-9th-zero-day-of-the-year/>
    ---
    The zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2022-4262) is due to a high-severity
    type confusion weakness in the Chrome V8 JavaScript engine reported by
    Clement Lecigne of Google's Threat Analysis Group.

    Even though type confusion security flaws generally lead to browser
    crashes after successful exploitation by reading or writing memory out
    of buffer bounds, threat actors can also exploit them for arbitrary code execution.

    Although Google said it detected attacks exploiting this zero-day, the
    company has yet to share technical details or information regarding
    these incidents.

    And speaking of zero-day exploits, your lame troll gang seems to be
    blissfully unaware that Google is also racking up a bunch of them:
