"
The macOS High Sierra 10.13.1 update improves the security, stability, and reliability of your Mac. This update:
Fixes a bug where Bluetooth may be unavailable during Apple Pay transactions.
Improves the reliability of Microsoft Exchange message sync in Mail.
Fixes an issue where Spotlight may not accept keyboard input.
Adds support for 70 new emoji including food types, animals, mythical creatures, clothing options, more expressive smiley faces, gender-neutral characters and more."
See below for docs about security fixes, including the WPA2 Key Reinstallation vulnerability.
(I expected Safari 11.0.1 fixes to be included in the updates, but docs don't say that.)
FYI on Nvidia Web Driver Updates:
Users of Nvidia's web drivers should know that new OS updates (versions or later build numbers after Security Updates) break any currently installed Nvidia web graphics driver. I'd switch to the default Apple driver and reboot before updating, if your card is supported with the default drivers. If not, wait for a Nvidia driver update. (Some non-Mac EFI cards are not supported by default OS X drivers.)
Of course have a current backup (and if possible, a Clone) of your boot drive before any update. Nvidia Driver Updates: See Nov 1st to 3rd news page for downloads of Nvidia Graphics driver updates for macOS 10.13.1 and the new builds of macOS 10.12.6 and OS X 10.11.6 with the above security updates installed. Also a download of Nvidia CUDA 9.0.222 for macOS 10.13.x with a reader report it works in macOS 10.12.6 also despite the download page only listing macOS High Sierra support.

(That's the article on Changes in the new iTunes, unchanged since the iTunes 12.7 update as of post time.)
