  • Apple has released a new software update for macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 to fix a screen sharing bug that could unintentionally expose random windows on a user's screen.

  • The bug was discovered by Craig Hockenberry, founder of Iconfactory, and reported to Apple in mid-November.
  • Apple also released updates for iPhone (iOS 17.2.1 and iOS 16.7.4) and iPad (iPadOS 17.2.1 and iPadOS 16.7.4), but did not issue release notes for these updates.
