AppleInsider StaffAccording to Apple, the flaw allowed maliciously crafted images with an embedded color profile to execute arbitrary code, or unexpectedly terminate the application. The issue does not affect Mac OS X 10.6 systems, and was already addressed with Security Update 2009-005 for Mac OS X 10.5.8 systems.
The 36.2MB download is available via Software Update. In addition to the security patch, Safari 4.0.4 is said to offer:
- Improved JavaScript performance
- Improved Full History Search performance for users with a large number of history items
- Stability improvements for third-party plug-ins, the search field and Yahoo Mail
The last update to Safari, 4.0.3, was released in August. It provided stability improvements for Web pages that use the HTML 5 video tag, and fixed issues that prevented some users from logging into iWork.com

I told you!
Now comes Safari to be followed by iTunes,to be followed by iPhone, to be followed by AppleTV, etc, et,c and then back again.
I know - quit complaining- it's the Love Train!
Jeez! I just did the last security update to my wifes MacBook pro at 4:00 pm today. This must be hot off the presses!
Still no flash fix.

Yeah, it would be nice if Adobe would work on that.
I just discovered that Webkit does not support MathML ( the xml tags used to render mathematical notation) Firefox does though. I just landed a nice job to write an application for such so I'm a little bummed. I usually use Safari but no dice on this job. For anyone one else interested, a new JS library is in the works to be released soon to fix the lack of support in Webkit. It is called MathJax
