It doesn't say "fixing messages". It doesn't hint at a high impact CVE. The only mention of any form of "security" is the link to the KB article, which I only caught after I noticed this HN post.
As a software engineer at a software+network security company and in investor in Apple, I'm not impressed. Bottom line: there was no urgency baked into the update description.
