Following a string of hefty operating system updates and honing in on hundreds of security fixes last week, Apple this week updated a specific vulnerability in its GarageBand audio editing application.
The GarageBand 10.4.11 update is for users running the app in macOS 13 Ventura and macOS 14 Sonoma and wasn’t patched in macOS 14.4 or 13.6.5 last week.
The security description for the update offers the following information:
Available for: macOS Ventura and macOS Sonoma
Impact: Processing a maliciously crafted file may lead to unexpected app termination or arbitrary code execution
Description: A use-after-free issue was addressed with improved memory management.
CVE-2024-23300: Marc Schoenefeld, Dr. rer. nat.
The update addresses a very specific security flaw, and it’s rare for Apple to offer standalone updates without new features. Long story short, open up your App Store application and snag the GarageBand update, it’ll be worth it.
