Safari 3 Beta Updated, Security Problems Fixed

Llywelyn writes "Apple has released an update to the Windows Safari 3 Beta. According to Macworld the updates '...include correction for a command injection vulnerability, corrected with additional processing and validation of URLs that could otherwise lead to an unexpected termination of the browser; an out-of-bounds memory read issue; and a race condition that can allow cross-site scripting using a JavaSscript [sic] exploit.' It is available through either the Apple Safari download site or through Apple's Software Update."

I wonder if...

Konqueror's Win32 release will be as big a disaster.

Yep, sounds like the choice of browser will be obivious. Slashdot should publish statistics of which browsers are used by Slashdotters to view Slashdot. Here you go:
* .01% - Safari (Windows)
* .02% - Opera (All)
* 03% - Cowboy Neal (Windows)
* 14% - Internet Explorer
* 19% - Cowbow Neal (Linux)
* 22% - Safari (Macintosh)
* 35% - FireFox (Windows)
* 99% - FireFox (Linux)
* Profit!

Re:Browser Statistics

[WrongSizeGlass]

That is one large group of browsers, as 192.03% of anything is pretty big. Well, we are talking about Web 2.0 (which should equal 200% IIRC). I guess I forgot
* 7.97% - Other

Anyone have a download link to the latest version of Cowboy Neal? I'd post it again, but I don't want to receive another DMCA takedown notice.

it's likely to just disappear and not make it back onto my machine the next time I reinstall Windows.

Best advertisement for OS X I've seen all day. :P
