Apple decided to grace us with some updates yesterday. I have a sneaking suspicion that these updates were completely related to the “hacking” that occurred a couple weeks ago. So be a good netizen and go update your browser.

This patch fixes the following issues:

A maliciously crafted website may control the contents of the address bar
Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary
Visiting a malicious website may result in cross-site scripting
Viewing a maliciously crafted web page may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution
