Downloaded and installed flawlessly on my 2012 21.5" iMac. Gone from 10.15.7 version 19H1824 to version 19H1922. Great to see this perfectly functional but 10 year old machine still receiving security updates. Question is though.... how much longer are we going to get these updates for?
Got a tip for us?

Catalina Security Update 2022-004

It’ll very likely follow the same pattern as with all the previous OS versions: at about the time Apple releases the next major version this fall, or somewhat before, Catalina will no longer receive security updates.
Updated my MBP. everything is working (very) well.
I'm quite happy with Catalina. I'm hoping we get updates until at least Christmas.

And when that day comes, those of us on machines from 2012 will be ripe for Open Core Legacy patcher with Monterey! Monterey will enter its security update phase later this year as Catalina loses support, and on the basis of all the reports on this site, machines from 2012 are running Monterey with OCLP quite well already, and it will probably only get better as Monterey reaches maturity.
Probably not that late, unless the new macOS is very late this year. The last Mojave security update was July 2021 while the later OSes got updates in September 2021.
Same here.
Workaround is command line using launchctl
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.smbd.plist
sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.smbd.plist

That is a different issue I think. Problem here is with System Preferences and TCC
Yes, on a Mac I have here that's running 10.15.7 with the 2022-004 security update installed, I still see zsh version 5.7.1, so the security notes do appear to be in error.
Probably some intern copy-pasted the release notes.
zsh --version on

This is just yet another case where Apple doesn't actually provide full security updates for any versions of the OS which are not the current one, apparently.
Thanks for confirming it. I guess Apple either made a mistake to put it in security notes, or they forgot to include it in security updates lol
It's bad because user might think they are not susceptible to this vulnerability any more but in fact the problem is still there..
Could you elaborate more on it? I don't quite understand the connections between zsh version and Apple's TCC design
From 31 March 2022 to 16 May 2022, Big Sur users, like myself, were left with an “actively exploited” vulnerability.
CVE-2022-22675 fixed in iOS 15.4.1 and iPadOS 15.4.1 https://support.apple.com/kb/HT213219 and Monterey 12.3.1 https://support.apple.com/kb/HT213220
Seems it is patched in that version, but there is no reference to the source code of macOS 10.15.7 at https://opensource.apple.com/releases/
Hi, is this security update It’s included in version 10.15.7 (19H2)? I recently installed Catalina by downloading the installer from Dosdude1 patch 1.4.4, and doing an update search at the end of the installation found only Safari 15.5. Thanks in advance for the help!
If yours shows 19H2, then you have no security updates installed at all. The full Catalina installer doesn't include security updates.
Has this security update been removed by Apple? my mac did offer it first, but when I clicked "install" I got an error pop up after which my mac fetched the previous version 2022-003 to be installed and now that I have that 003, my mac doesn't show the 004 to be available any more?
