Apple today released macOS update 12.5.1 (internal version number: 21G83) to Mac users, 28 days after its last release.

It should be noted that due to the cache configuration problem of node servers in each region of Apple, the update time may be slightly delayed in some places, generally within half an hour, which will not be too long.

The macOS Monterey 12.5.1 update can be downloaded to all eligible Macs using the System Preferences Software Update section.

According to Apple's release notes, macOS Monterey 12.5.1 improves macOS security and is recommended for all users. The update addresses kernel and WebKit vulnerabilities that could cause arbitrary code execution. Apple said it was aware that these vulnerabilities could be actively exploited, so it was important to update them immediately.

Apple is also working on the macOS 13 Ventura, which will be released this fall.
