Following the release of iOS 16.4 beta 3 and other developer software updates on Tuesday, Apple quietly updated the Mac version of its audio editing app GarageBand. According to the company, today’s update contains “important security fixes.”
GarageBand for macOS updated with security fixes
For those unfamiliar, GarageBand is Apple’s powerful free audio editor and creativity software. The app comes with virtual instruments, a huge sound library, multi-track support, guitar and piano lessons, and much more. The app is available for iOS and macOS.
GarageBand is a fully-featured music creation studio right inside your Mac – with an extensive sound library that includes instruments, guitar and vocal presets, and an incredible selection of session drummers and percussionists. With an intuitive and modern design, it’s easy to learn, play, record, create and share your hits around the world.
It’s unclear at this point what security fixes are included in GarageBand 10.4.8, but Apple says the update is recommended for all Mac users. Apple’s security update web page has yet to be updated with mentions of GarageBand. The new version of GarageBand works with any Mac running macOS Monterey 12.3 or later.
You can download the latest version of GarageBand for macOS from the Mac App Store. The iPhone and iPad version is also free to download from the App Store.
Last month, Apple released iOS 16.3.1 and macOS 13.2.1 with several security fixes for iPhone, iPad, and Mac users. One of the exploits patched by the company could lead to a denial of service (DoS) attack, when the attacker floods the device or network with traffic to trigger a crash.
That’s why it’s always important to keep all software on your devices up to date.
