Apple updates Safari

Apple has released an update to Safari 4.1 (Mac) and Safari 5.0 (Windows, Mac). As usual, they're not saying exactly what the security fixes are. If you have an Apple Mac running OS X, update your Safari. Windows users who have Safari installed should either uninstall it (my recommendation) or update it.

The majority of the documented vulnerabilities affected WebKit, the open-source Web browser engine that powers Safari.

Here’s the skinny on some of the more critical issues:
