Apple Releases macOS 10.13.4 Security Update – Download Live

Apple Releases macOS 10.13.4 Security Update – Download Live
Mike Guarino
April 24, 2018

Apple has released a new update for Mac, with the macOS High Sierra update being a security update that brings it up to version 10.13.4. While it’s always recommended that you keep up to date with all of the latest updates that the company rolls out, this one in particular is important for those concerned about security.

This update for all macOS High Sierra users includes a fix that deals with a bug that can potentially allow an application to gain elevated privileges. This means that, in the wrong hands, an app could potentially gain access to everything that you have on your device and do with it what they will. The full 10.13.14 patch notes can be found here, or you can check out the meat of the notes below.

CVE-2018-4187: Zhiyang Zeng (@Wester) of Tencent Security Platform Department, Roman Mueller (@faker_)

Getting this download going is very simple, as it simply requires you to have an internet connection and access to the Mac App Store. Once you’re there, check your updates tab for this update and click download. The update is about 1 GB, so depending on the quality of your internet service the time of this download will vary. Just be sure that your device is connected to a power source so that the battery doesn’t die mid-download.
