Yesterday, Apple released patches across all of its operating systems. A standalone patch for Safari was released to address WebKit problems in older macOS versions. Apple does not provide CVSS scores or severity ratings. The ratings below are based on my reading of the impact. However, the information isn’t always sufficient to accurately assign a rating.
One vulnerability, CVE-2024-23296, which can be used to bypass kernel protections via RTKit, is already being exploited. Apple patched this issue for newer operating systems in March, but it now releasing the patch for older macOS and iOS versions.
According to my count, these updates address 64 different vulnerabilities.
Safari 17.5
iOS 17.5 and iPadOS 17.5

macOS Sonoma 14.5
