On Thursday night, Apple made another update for macOS 11 aka Big Sur available for download. The update listens to version number 11.5.2 and comes just two weeks after macOS 11.5.1, which contained an important security fix.

A mysterious update -
Even by Apple standards, the group gives little information about the content of macOS 11.5.2: It only says that the update contains “bug fixes for your Mac”. Further information is not provided, although macOS updates usually contain a detailed package insert. A restart is absolutely necessary for the import. Updates for macOS Mojave (10.14) or Catalina (10.15) were not provided.

Apple Updates macOS Big Sur to 11.5.2, No Changelog Included in 2.9GB Update:
HIGHLIGHTS -
 • macOS Big Sur to 11.5.2 is about 2.5GB to 2.9GB in size
 • Apple has not shared a changelog for the update
Apple has released a big update for macOS but it doesn't seem to have brought many changes. The update has already started reaching users and is around 2.5GB to 2.9GB in size. Apple has not shared a changelog for the update either and it just claims to include bug fixes.

PEGASUS SPYWARE

It is still unclear whether Apple has fixed the vulnerabilities in its operating systems associated with the highly problematic Pegasus spyware. Some security researchers believe that this is related to IOImage or similar image routines, others believe that Apple itself does not yet know exactly what vulnerabilities were being exploited.
