Safari 3 Beta Updated, Security Problems Fixed

Posted by Zonk on from the closing-holes-in-the-apple dept.

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 hate having to give out an email address just to get the download, and I hate even more having to uncheck several boxes to avoid downloading every piece of software Apple owns.

    You don't need to give them your email address--you can just click the download button.

    Did you try downloading without an e-mail address? It works just fine for me.
