Apple released iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and Safari updates today. The iOS/macOS updates go back two "generations". This is particularly important for iOS 15, which now receives a patch for CVE-2023-32434, a vulnerability already exploited against earlier versions of iOS. This is also the only issue addressed for these earlier iOS versions.

Apple does not pre-announce these updates. But was expected to release this update yesterday to fix compliance issues unrelated to security vulnerabilities.
