Among the flurry of iOS 27.2 releases on Monday, Apple pushed software updates for older operating systems, including a fix for a CoreGraphics vulnerability that may have been exploited in targeted attacks. The releases include iOS 26.7.2, iPadOS 26.7.2, iOS 18.7.11, iPadOS 18.7.11, macOS Tahoe 26.7.2, macOS Sequoia 15.8.2, and tvOS 26.6.1.
iOS 18.7.11 and iPadOS 18.7.11 bring the CoreGraphics fix to iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone XR, and seventh-generation iPad, which cannot run iOS 26. Processing a maliciously crafted file on these devices could lead to arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been exploited in an extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals on versions before iOS 27.
For iOS 26.7.2 and iPadOS 26.7.2, Apple lists security fixes covering 134 vulnerabilities, none flagged as exploited in the wild. Apple also lists security fixes for macOS Tahoe 26.7.2 and macOS Sequoia 15.8.2.
Lastly, tvOS 26.6.1 adds support for the fourth-generation Siri Remote on Apple TV HD and first-generation Apple TV 4K. All updates are available now via Settings > General > Software Update on iPhone/iPad/Mac/Apple TV.
