Safari AutoFill Security Issue Appears, Again
Oh boy, here we go again…
Remember our early reported AutoFill security issue? Well, it looks like browser vulnerability was not properly patched, as your data can still be stolen.
Since it affects Safari 4 and 5 web browsers (including 5.0.5), here is a temporary fix:
Go to Preferences > AutoFill > AutoFill web forms and uncheck “Using info from my Address Book card”.
Safari 5.0.2 and 4.1.2 Released
Recently, Apple has released updates for both branches of its web browsers. As usual, latest version includes a couple of big fixes:
Fixes an issue that could prevent users from submitting web forms
Fixes an issue that could cause web content to display incorrectly when viewing a Google Image result with Flash 10.1 installed
Establishes an encrypted, authenticated connection to the Safari Extensions Gallery
As well as security related patches.
