Apple released Safari 5.1.4 for Windows as well as for OS X. This update addresses a large number of bugs in Safari itself and in WebKit. Some of the issues fixed: - Safari for Windows: An International Domain Name (IDN) issue with look alike characters. (I just patched Safari for OS X, and oddly, Safari still appears to render .com domains using international characters vs. punny-code. Firefox and Chrome do not show international characters for .com ) - All versions of Safari: While private browsing was active, sites were still recorded in the browsing history. - 5 different cross site scripting vulnerabilities in WebKit - a cookie disclosure vulnerability (WebKit) - a cross origin issue in Webkit. - 40 or more webkit issues that could lead to arbitrary code execution. The update should be listed eventually at the standard Apple security URL: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222 ------ |
