As usual for Apple patches, vulnerabilities tend to affect all/most Apple operating systems. One notable security issue that was addressed, but is not listed here, is the "USB accessory unlock" issue. This allowed systems like Greylock to unlock phones by brute forcing the passcode via the lightning port / USB. iOS 11.4.1 only allows USB devices to connect within 1 hour after the phone/tablet is locked. This is enabled by default but can be disabled by the user. OS X also fixes the latest versions of Spectre.

OS X / macOS

Component macOS 10.13 macOS 10.12 OS X 10.11 Description Impact CVE
AMD x     A malicious application may be able to determine kernel memory layout An information disclosure issue was addressed by removing the vulnerable code. CVE-2018-4289
APFS x     An application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved memory handling. CVE-2018-4268
ATS x     A malicious application may be able to gain root privileges A type confusion issue was addressed with improved memory handling. CVE-2018-4285
CFNetwork x     Cookies may unexpectedly persist in Safari A cookie management issue was addressed with improved checks. CVE-2018-4293
CoreCrypto   x x A malicious application may be able to break out of its sandbox A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved input validation. CVE-2018-4269
DesktopServices   x   A local user may be able to view sensitive user information A permissions issue existed in which execute permission was incorrectly granted. This issue was addressed with improved permission validation. CVE-2018-4178
IOGraphics x     A local user may be able to read kernel memory An out-of-bounds read issue existed that led to the disclosure of kernel memory. This was addressed with improved input validation. CVE-2018-4283
Kernel x x x Systems using Intel Core-based microprocessors may potentially allow a local process to infer data utilizing Lazy FP state restore from another process through a speculative execution side channel Lazy FP state restore instead of eager save and restore of the state upon a context switch. Lazy restored states are potentially vulnerable to exploits where one process may infer register values of other processes through a speculative execution side channel that infers their value. CVE-2018-3665
libxpc x x x An application may be able to gain elevated privileges A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved memory handling. CVE-2018-4280
libxpc x     A malicious application may be able to read restricted memory An out-of-bounds read was addressed with improved input validation. CVE-2018-4248
LinkPresentation x     Visiting a malicious website may lead to address bar spoofing A spoofing issue existed in the handling of URLs. This issue was addressed with improved input validation. CVE-2018-4277
