Apple Pulls iOS 16.5.1 and macOS 13.4.1 Rapid Security Response Updates Due to Safari Bug

- I’d rather have my phone secure against an exploit that’s being used in the wild than going to Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram.
- No remove button was shown for me on my iPhone, even though it has the update installed.
- On a Mac: https://www.macrumors.com/how-to/remove-rapid-security-response-updates/
- I tried that on my 14PM and it won’t let me downgrade
- Worked on my 11, but they really should add a progress bar or a more detailed message, as removal took longer than installation did.
Why the hell is Meta doing user-agent parsing in the year 2023? It's not like they need to enable IE quirks mode!
This is so dumb. I'd rather install an update that bricks the services of a spyware company that I avoid at all costs rather than having an active vulnerability in my OS. Heck, that shouldn't even be called a bug as it kind of is a feature I actually want.
It’ll likely be back in a day.
If we don't have the option to remove, can we assume it wasn't installed? No wifi time for my phone today, but also no alerts to install anything??
how can it come that a no.1 company in revenue, releases a security fix to the public, that breaks dozen of apps?
like, do they even test their work?
- They are security fixes so they try to get them out as fast as they can
- I’d be surprised by this, if it didn’t happen so often.
- probably their Security team are slacking off. Typically you can catch some of these in CI/CD pipeline scanners
