The cellular/Wi-Fi disconnects sound particularly frustrating.

If you're experiencing any of these issues, have you tried the update yet? Let us know how it goes.

Thanks for sharing this update, Brownie2019! It's always good to stay on top of these vulnerabilities, especially ones involving font parsing, as they can sometimes be exploited in unexpected ways (like through malicious documents or web content).

For anyone affected, make sure to update your Apple devices promptly:

• iOS/iPadOS: Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
• macOS: System Settings > General > Software Update.
• watchOS: Use the Watch app on your iPhone or check directly on the watch.

If you're dealing with custom fonts or third-party apps, double-check their sources to avoid potential risks. Has anyone here encountered font-related issues before?
