Welcome to my August 2025 Patch Monday newsletter! Apple played catchup this month which makes sense since last month they didn't have any updates. There is a zero-day affecting iPad/iOS, Sequoia, Sonoma and Ventura. The update to patch the zero was released on 8/20. In the chart below, the link will take you to the previous update list for each product in July. If you would like more information about the zero-day you can visit this link. That link is specific to iPadOS but that particular CVE is the same zero day for the affected Apple products; CVE-2025-43300. Apple reports that a malicious image file may result in memory corruption and that specific targeted individuals may have already been exploited. So please get these products updated ASAP.

For the last 30 days we have four updates coming from Google for Chrome. In total, 23 vulnerabilities were updated. Of these, only five are rated "Critical" from Google. Thankfully Google Chrome doesn't have any zero days in the last 30 days.

Besides these it was a pretty busy month for the rest of Apples products and also Adobe. You will want to see if you have any of the affected products in the chart below.

Zoom only had two updates with one being "Critical" for the various software pieces within Zoom's Clients for Windows suite.

If there are any additional products you would like to see in the chart below, please let me know.

Be sure to browse the chart below and happy patching!
