CVE-2021-1844
Found independently by C. Lecigne of Google & A. Huffman of Microsoft https://www.cybersecurity-help.cz/vdb/SB2021030901
The severe vulnerability is also in the iPhone, iPad & watch WebKit.
Now that Apple doesn't distribute (Combo-)Udates as DMG any more,
does anyone know of a way of downloading Updates onto one machine in
the household and have all others pull off of that?

You've said this before, right? It's still not true.

This was answered by several people within the last couple of weeks.
softwareupdate is one way to download the full installer, which include
a disk image which can be put on a USB thumb drive to boot and install
onto any supported mac.
Can you post a link to the Combo Update for 11.2.3, please?
This was not answered. And when I replied to you where one can read
up there was no reply.
So if I understand this correctly, on every update I should download the complete
image of Big Sur and conduct a Big SUr installation instead of an Update?
But if it is all too difficult, perhaps just plonk me.

It is a biggie at 11.6GB:

You should be able to use "createmediainstaller" (https://9to5mac.com/2020/09/03/how-to-create-bootable-macos-11-big-sur-usb-install-drive-video/)
to make the self booting installer or if you have 11 installed, just reinstall the OS from the application.

Thanks,
I'll try System Preferences -> SHaring -> Content Sharing next
