Subject: [iDevices] Apple Releases watchOS 7.6.1 with security updates

 

Submitted by AppleVis on Thursday, July 29, 2021.

 



 

Apple has today released watchOS 7.6.1, bringing a fix for a security issue
that, according to  <https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212713> Apple's
security support document may have been actively exploited.

Impact: An application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel
privileges. Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been
actively exploited.

 

Description: A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved memory
handling.

 

As this update appears to have been released to address a specific security
issue, our expectation is that it does not contain any accessibility changes
for blind and low vision users; however, if you notice any changes,
improvements or regressions in your own use of this release, please post a
comment with your findings.

 

watchOS 7.6.1 is available via Over-the-Air Update (Settings > General >
Software Update) or by going to the Watch app on your iPhone and navigating
to General> Software Update. To install the update, your Watch must be
connected to its charger and have at least 50% battery power.

 

More information on how to update the software on your Apple Watch is
available on  <https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204641> this Apple Support
page.
