Apple released Safari 5.0.4 Wednesday, a seemingly modest update with a few bug fixes, but one that also contains fixes for some 62 security holes. The basic patch notes list several stability fixes and some VoiceOver improvements.
Those patch notes:
- This update contains improvements to stability, compatibility, accessibility and security, including the following:
- Improved stability for webpages with multiple instances of plug-in content
- Improved compatibility with webpages with image reflections and transition effects
- A fix for an issue that could cause some webpages to print with incorrect layouts
- A fix for an issue that could cause content to display incorrectly on webpages with plug-ins
- A fix for an issue that could cause a Screen Saver to appear while video is playing in Safari
- Improved compatibility with VoiceOver on webpages with text input areas and lists with selectable items
- Improved stability when using VoiceOver
Safari was updated for both Mac OS X and Windows, and users can find the update in Software Updater on the Mac (39.3MB for Snow Leopard) or the Apple Updater Utility in iTunes or Safari on Windows.
You can also download a standalone installer from Apple’s site for either OS.
The security patch notes go into the details of all those compatibility, stability, and security changes. Each one of the “CVE-ID” numbers represent a reported security hole.
