Safari Security Hole Allows Cookie Theft

Posted by pudge on from the shut-it-down dept.

An anonymous reader writes "MacSlash posted a story about a vulnerability in Safari. The exploit allows someone to steal any of your domain-based cookies (passwords, private info, etc.) from any website. Mozilla and Internet Explorer had the same bug in the past."

    While you're waiting for Apple to patch this why not check out Mozilla Firebird 0.7 for OS X.

    It is a great, feature rich browser. Of course you could also check out Mozilla 1.5, Camino, Netscape, iCab, Omni Web, Opera, or even IE 5 or MSN for the Mac

    All of these can be downloaded from their respective sites, or from the Internet Utilities section of Apple's Mac OS X Downloads page.
