Apple launches macOS Ventura 13.6

macOS Ventura 13.6 has gone live and is the sixth major update to the Ventura operating system.

Version 13.6 arrives almost two months after the release of 13.5 and includes several security updates and bug fixes. As a side note, Apple recommends that all macOS Ventura users get the update as soon as possible to protect their devices.

Official notes say the update is similar to the watchOS 10.0.1 update, with patched kernel exploits and malicious app entries that could elevate their privileges and bypass signature validation. These exploits were observed prior to iOS 16.7. Full details can be viewed on the official Apple support page. For users who cannot update to Ventura, Apple has released a similar patch via macOS 12.7.

macOS Sonoma will soon be available to the public, replacing Ventura as the latest macOS software.
