Safari browser security issues patched

Only three days after its release on Windows, Apple have released a new beta 3.0.1 of their browser Safari for Windows XP and Vista. A number of security issues were found with the browser and these have now been patched. These issues included a “command injection vulnerability”, unexpected termination of the browser and a Javascript exploit.

Kudos to Apple for getting a patch out there so quickly but that won’t remove the egg from Steve Jobs’ face that came with the announcement of the security vulnerabilities within 24 hours of his launch of the browser.

There’s also a report over at I4U that the browser doesn’t render Korean language sites correctly.
