Apple Releases macOS Monterey 12.2 With Safari Vulnerability Fix

[MacRumors]

Apple today released macOS Monterey 12.2, the second major update to the macOS Monterey update that launched in October. macOS Monterey 12.2 comes over a month after the release of the 12.1 update, which brought SharePlay support.

The ‌‌‌macOS Monterey 12.2‌‌ update can be downloaded on all eligible Macs using the Software Update section of System Preferences. Apple has also released a macOS Big Sur 11.6.3 update for those still running macOS Big Sur and macOS Catalina Security Update 2022-001 for those on Catalina.

macOS Monterey 12.2 is a bug fix update, and Apple's release notes have no information other than generic bug fix information. We don't yet have a full list of security updates, but we do know that macOS Monterey 12.2 addresses a Safari bug that could cause your recent browsing history and details about your identity to be leaked to malicious entities.

A full list of security fixes that are in the update will be available from Apple's security update support document.

Now you can try the MacOS 12.2 (21D49) and see if it fixed what you didn't like. For me this release is very stable.

Comparably this 12.2 beta cycle only had a single RC compared to last year's Big Sur 11.2 with three RC releases.

Does this update include the 120hz safari scrolling?

 

[uczcret]

Is it the same build as the RC?

 

[e1me5]

But what about Big Sur?
Edit: Blind me.

 

[jz0309]

happy upgrading ... might upgrade my iMac from Big Sur with this one ...

 

[Permanent Sigh]

Should come with the AppKit version of Apple Music

 

[americanguy]

Dont see it yet on 16inch M1 MacBook Pro running 12.1

 

[bsbeamer]

Not showing on several machines, yet. iOS and iPadOS updates are showing.

 

[maxsquared]

Didn't want to be the one who does it, but it's not showing for me, feels the news is a bit premature.

 

[Realityck]

Does this update include the 120hz safari scrolling?

Safari 15.4 should be part of the next beta cycle. This just released MacOS12.2 uses 15.3 which supports 60hz. You can test it with https://www.testufo.com

Does this update include the 120hz safari scrolling?

No it’s only in the safari preview one and you have to go into develop mode and select not to render in 60hz

 

[tywebb13]

Is it the same build as the RC?

Nope. It is 21D49 whereas the RC was 21D48.

 

[macintoshmac]

Is it the same build as the RC?

Apple Insider suggests the build is 21D49, one build ahead of the 12.2 RC.

I hope they fixed both memory leak and pink screen.

2.75 GB Coming from 12.1 on my M1 MacBook Air. Preparing update as I type!

 

[IowaAppleGuy]

I thought 12.2 was bringing a fully native music app? My most anticipated software release ever, solely to fix the Apple Music bug that causes the screen to jump around your playlist every time you edit, rate or delete a song.
