Release notes
What changed
Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.
This release had one documented purpose: repair SSL connection verification. Apple’s security bulletin identifies missing authenticity-validation steps in Secure Transport rather than a collection of unrelated feature or maintenance changes.[1][2]
The affected condition required an attacker with a privileged network position and could expose protected sessions to captured or modified data. Restoring the omitted validation steps addressed that path.[1]
