This is their way of saying: upgrade from Sierra to the seemingly still supremely buggy High Sierra or you'll get owned? Gee, thanks.

Most of the CVEs are fixed in Sierra and El Capitan as well.

  Yep... installed the Sierra security update this morning.

Long time mac user, versed in Linux but have been using Mac for its "convenience" for years: Upgraded to high sierra, and my power modes started working totally irrationally with seemingly no explanation. When I closed the lid it suddenly started going crazy and nearly burnt a hole in my desk. I think it burnt out the logic board in this way, the GPU and kernel started panicking after 2 minutes running. When turned off it would turn itself on and go into this crazy hyper swap mode, the box when I was shipping it to applecare seemed like it would catch on fire. Had to keep using SMC shutdown to get it to turn off. I dont know if the issue was High Sierra, macbook pro 2016 (which are total crap in my opinion why in the world would you hardwire the hard drive into the logic board??), or both, but it suffices to say I'm buying a Thinkpad, and Im only using Ubuntu on it.

  Make sure it is a new Intel CPU too so you can't get power management to work there either. #skylakeWasFun

If I'm reading it right, all those patches are also available for Sierra 10.12.6 and El Capitan 10.11.6 (and will presumably be delivered by an update there), except for the ones that say don't apply to Sierra 10.12.6 (the vulnerability doesn't exist there). Eg: > macOS High Sierra 10.13.1, macOS Sierra 10.12.6, OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 And: > Available for: macOS High Sierra 10.13 and macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 > Not impacted: macOS Sierra 10.12.6 and earlier
