ZombieLoad update for Macs released after 2011
The macOS 10.14.5 update includes a patch for the ZombieLoad vulnerability, which was revealed on Tuesday and reported by TechCrunch, Wired and other outlets. ZombieLoad affects every Intel-equipped computer dating back to 2011.
According to an Apple Support Document, macOS Mojave 10.14.5 protects “against speculative execution vulnerabilities in Intel CPUs.” The document also states that the fix affects Safari “with no measurable performance impact,” but if a user is running full mitigation for Microarchitectural Data Sampling (MDS) vulnerabilities, you may see a reduction in performance of up to 40 percent.
How to install macOS 10.14.5
Before installing the update, perform a backup of your Mac, just in case a problem occurs. Once that’s done, go to System Preferences > Software Update to run the update. The installation will take several minutes and your Mac will need to restart.

For this upgrade unfortunately a lot of models pre 2012 are now incompatible unlike the previous upgrades of macOS Sierra and macOS High Sierra 10.13 which hardly dropped any models on there release.
For the older Sierra upgrades Apple had already dropped support for any models pre late 2009 for MacBook and iMac. Also anything pre 2010 for MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, Mac Mini and Mac Pro.
You’ll still require a 64bit Intel processor, Iris Graphics 4000 series or later and 8GBs of free disk space – if upgrading, as appose to clean install min plus at least 2GB of RAM – 4GB+ preferred.
The Macs that will run macOS Mojave
- iMac – all models from late 2012, iMac 13,1 – 18,3
- iMac Pro – all models, iMac Pro 1,1
- MacBook & MacBook Retina – all models from late 2009, MacBook 8,1 – 10,1
- MacBook Pro – all models from 2012, MacBook Pro 9,2 – 15,1
- MacBookAir – all models from 2012, MacBook Air 5,1 – 7,2
- Mac Mini – all models from 2012, Mac Mini 6,1 – 7,1
- Mac Pro – all models from 2012, Mac Pro 6,1 and from 2010-2012 Mac Pro 5,1 models with recommended Metal-capable GPU
Which means most devices made prior to 2008 won’t be able to run it.
