Safari 3.1.1 is now available via Software Update
Just after my recent Safari rant, Apple publishes an update. This version, 3.1.1, fixes 39MB worth of security issues and bugs, one of which was the one that allowed a hacker to get full access of a MacBook Air at a recent PWN2OWN conference. This update deals with four specific bugs and, in my opinion, is a very good step in the right direction.
More specifically, this update fixed an issue involving the way WebKit handled a host name containing a semi colon in the URL. This bug, according to Apple, could allow a malicious URL to gain access to a machine. Another issue fixed consisted of buffer overflows while handling JavaScript expressions. This update is for both Mac users and Windows users, so be sure to download it for a more secure machine.
You can finds Apple’s detailed notes on this release at their site.
