Both of these vulnerabilities may have been actively exploited, so it's important for users to upgrade immediately.

Why a day later for the other OSs, while it is supposed to be a critical security update?

Why is it that both the base OS and Safari had to be patched yesterday with macOS 11, whereas in today's updates only Safari had to be patched for macOS 10.14 and 10.15?
