Hello, welcome to the Tuesday, March 15th, 2020 edition of the Sansanet Storms, Stormcast. My name is Johannes Ulrich, and today I'm recording from Jacksonville, Florida.

Well, Apple today updated everything, and with this we got, I believe it was 71 vulnerabilities fixed across all

apples of Apple's operating systems. I put together a table again with a list of

the vulnerabilities and which operating systems are affected, but on the macOS side,

we got patches for Catalina, B Pixar and, of course, the latest,

greatest Monterey. Then we have TVOS, iOS, iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS updates. iOS, iPadOS are similar

enough where they only got one bulletin together from Apple.

One vulnerability that I think was already made public effects,

SIP archives and how they can be used to bypass gatekeeper checks,

or maybe it's just a new vulnerability that is similar to some of the older ones.

There are also some lock screen bypass vulnerabilities that are being addressed

that tend to be more interesting and sometimes more easy to exploit.

Also, typical for Apple, we got patches for a couple of open source

products that are included in macOS, for example, curl and Vim. If you're running macOS

Monterey, you have to be a little bit careful updating to 12.3, which is now the latest version.

And while Python 2 is no longer supported for now about two years,

it's still used in some products,

and just sort of blindly updating may get you into trouble here.

So double check that none of the third-party products that you added

or maybe your own scripts are still relying on Python 2.

For a small script, the transition from Python 2
