On July 19, Apple released security updates for seven of its products, such as iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, Safari, iTunes for Windows and iCloud for Windows.

The company didn't publish any security updates in June, so this month's security updates train is quite bulky.

Of the listed bugs, probably the most important fix is for the Broadpwn bug, an issue that would allow attackers to take over iOS devices that utilize Broadcom WiFi chipsets. Bradpwn also recevied fixes in watchOS, macOS, and tvOS.

The issue, detailed in depth in one of our previous articles, needs no user interaction to exploit and relies on users walking into the range of a malicious WiFi network. Google has patched Broadpwn in Android at the start of July.
