Apple today patched two flaws in macOS. One of the flaws has also been fixed for iOS and iPadOS. The AppleAVD flaw patched in across all the operating systems is critical as it allows arbitrary code execution with kernel privileges, and the flaw has been actively exploited.

The second vulnerability, an out-of-bounds read issue for kernel memory, only affects macOS and may be useful to exploit other vulnerabilities.

You probably should patch quickly given that the more severe flaw is already being exploited.
