Apple today updated update Safari for Mavericks to version 7.0.3 and version 6.1.3 for Mountain Lion users. It has improvements to compatibility, stability, and security. But it’s the security one that you’ll be interested in. If you delve into those fixes, you see that several are credited to the Keen Team. That’s the group that “PWNED” Safari at PWN2OWN. Thus you should download this update so that you’re covered for the exploit that they discovered.
And in terms of less critical fixes:
- A new option for turning off push notification prompts for websites
- Improves credit card autofill
- Adds support for webpages with generic top-level domains
- Fixes an issue that could cause the search and address field to load a webpage or send a search term before the return key is pressed
- Improves credit card autofill with websites
- Fixes an issue that could block receipt of push notifications from websites
- Adds a preference to turn off push notification prompts from websites
- Adds support for webpages with generic top-level domains
The update is a free download for Mavericks users and is available through the software update tool in the Mac App Store.
