The macOS Catalina 10.15.7 Supplemental Update provides important security updates for your Mac.

A malicious application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. Apple is aware of reports that an exploit for this issue exists in the wild.

FontParser arbitrary code execution = Found in the wild!!!
Two Kernel Exploits = Both found in the wild!!!
All three vulnerabilities have been reported to Apple from the Google Project Zero Team.

Confusing Update Situation

We have a couple update scenarios that we need to discuss. Normally Apple releases new Delta and Combo Updates. This time we only have a delta update for 10.15.6 users. If you have anyone on 10.15.0-10.15.5 they will be offered the OLD 10.15.7 (19H2) Update. They will have to install the 10.15.7 Supplemental Update after!

10.15.7 users = NEW 10.15.7 Supplemental Update
10.15.6 users = NEW 10.15.7 Delta Update
10.15.0-10.15.5 users = OLD 10.15.7 Combo Update – Will need to install the 10.15.7 Supplemental Update after.
10.15.7 Full Installer = Remains OLD 10.15.7 (19H2) version and will need to install the 10.15.7 Supplemental Update after.
