Is this as bad as it looks?

  No, take a look at previous releases, there was even more in them: 12.0.1: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT212869 https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT212869 12.1: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT212978 https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT212978

  Bad compared to what? "Microsoft's January 2022 Security Updates" looks comparable: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/microsoft-january-2022-security-updates/426633c1-17d0-47e7-82a6-f6f4bcf86a3c https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/micros... Perhaps the parent comment was flamebait and I fell for it.

    It's more 'everyone on macOS update right now', which is a pretty regular thing on Windows, too. Catalina is still supported, so all the 2012 Macs are still updated.

  The "real" list is often much longer since Apple (IIRC) doesn't add CVEs to bugs they discover interally, and doesn't disclose them in these changelogs. And this update has very little security content compared to previous ones, for example 12.1 had 42 entries (13 entries for 12.2).

    I don’t think this is specific to Apple - I think it’s the practice of the entire industry.

      It is totally standard practice, even at orgs that occasionally file CVEs for internal bugs.
