Description

New point version

I suspect this has a fix for a critical zero-day that's being actively exploited at the time of writing:

WebKit

Available for: macOS Big Sur and macOS Catalina

Impact: Processing maliciously crafted web content may lead to
arbitrary code execution. Apple is aware of a report that this issue
may have been actively exploited.

Description: An out-of-bounds write issue was addressed with improved 
bounds checking.

WebKit Bugzilla: 243557
CVE-2022-32893: an anonymous researcher
