This month’s security update is a two-parter, with July 1st being a partial and the July 5th one being the whole kit and kaboodle. 

The partial update addresses 22 vulnerabilities, and the full update addresses 30 additional vulnerabilities. It’s worth noting that nine of these vulnerabilities were categorized as ‘critical, ’ so it’s definitely nice to see those patched up.
