 - A privacy issue was addressed with improved private data redaction for log entries. This issue is fixed in macOS Ventura 13.7.1, macOS Sonoma 14.7.1. An app may be able to read sensitive location information.
 (CVE-2024-44289)

 - The issue was addressed with improved checks. This issue is fixed in macOS Ventura 13.7.1, macOS Sequoia 15, macOS Sonoma 14.7.1. An attacker with physical access may be able to share items from the lock screen.
 (CVE-2024-44137)

 - A buffer overflow was addressed with improved size validation.
