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."

    Gee, 1-day service. Sounds like Apple is a lot more serious about security fixes than Microsoft.

    (but then again, we already knew that)

    That should get more people looking to Macs on their next hardware upgrade.

    Yea, when your browser is so void of features it takes less time to fix a problem and test it. Especially since the problem was probably already solved in the Mac version and only needed to be moved over to the Win Beta.

    There's a reason why they call them lusers, you know.

    Isn't it amazing how quickly Apple zealots come up with reasons why sucky Apple products were "never intended to compete anyway"? You guys have drunk so much cool aid, it has completely filled your head and colored your eyes rosy.
