Apple on Monday distributed its latest Rapid Security Response update to iPhones, iPads, and Macs, rolling out an important security patch to protect devices against a recently identified attack Apple says is already in active use.

“Apple is aware of a report that this issue may have been actively exploited,” the company said in its security note.
