Published December 29th, 2007 in Browser Security, Safari
Apple Inc. matched a Microsoft Corp. move last week by reissuing a security update to fix its Safari browser, which began crashing while loading certain Web sites after users installed the first draft of the patch.
Friday, Apple re-released Security Update 2007-009 as Version 1.1 to put Safari right, confirming that the initial update, which the company unveiled on Dec. 17, had broken the browser. "Security Update 2007-009 v1.1 addresses an issue introduced in Security Update 2007-009 that may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit when browsing to certain Web sites," Apple said in the advisory accompanying the update.Users began reporting a wide range of crash problems with Safari on Apple’s support forums almost immediately after 2007-009 was issued.
