I hope this email finds you well.

I would like to share with you and your team this news from Apple. Apple contacted me regarding the vulnerabilities I found on macOS (specifically the ones related to the DNS service mDNSResponder). Consequently, On January 22, Apple released a new security update. They also asked to add the authors’ names under the additional acknowledgment section which you can in this URL: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209446

In addition, this news has drawn the public attention, especially in the middle east. I also was interviewed by the following TV channels during the past week (in Arabic):
