Release notes

What changed

Original editorial synthesis. Linked references appear with the claims they support and in the source ledger.

The user-facing maintenance work centered on input: fingerprint matching received another refinement, software-keyboard responsiveness was repaired, and Bluetooth keyboards no longer hit the documented problem when VoiceOver was active.[1]

Apple’s security bulletin adds four areas not visible in the consumer summary: incomplete cookie headers, exposed kernel pointers, SSL renegotiation, and malicious web content each received targeted defenses.[2]

security · fixed

HTTP cookie and SSL session security

documentedconfirmed

CFNetwork ignored incomplete HTTP header lines so truncated cookie security attributes could not be stripped, and Secure Transport required renegotiated sessions to retain the original server certificate by default.
