The Bugs Keep Coming for Safari on Windows | |

Unless there's a pressing need in your environment, you might want to hold off on installing the beta of Apple's Safari browser for Windows, as every day seems to bring a new bug report. Following the release of Safari 3.0.2 on Friday, another vulnerability was found Monday by Researcher E. Azizov of ITdefence in Russia. The security hole affects the Windows XP version of the browser, and can lead to a buffer overflow, which could allow an attacker to take over a computer. Safari on Windows has had trouble out of the gate. Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the porting of Safari to at the opening day of Apple's Worldwide Developer conference, and almost immediately, security researchers began finding flaws in it. In fact, by the end of the first day, more than a half-dozen had been found. | ||

The good news is that most of the new security holes affect the Mac too.

| Holes in a beta? No way...get outta here. That is crazy. Who has ever heard of such a thing? |

Considering how many security holes have been found in Apple OS X this year, Safari is looking like a chip off the old block.
300-400 this year. |

| #5, Apple probably should have avoided the whole, "Secure from the ground up..." comment when it was released. |
