OS X Security Update addresses Safari vulnerabilities and bugs





Apple has issued a Mac OS X security update today that should improve compatibility, stability and security.


The bulk of the update is centered around Safari 7.0.3, and has the following changes, per Apple:



  • Fixes an issue that could cause the search and address field to load a webpage or send a search term before the return key is pressed

  • Improves credit card autofill compatibility with websites

  • Fixes an issue that could block receipt of push notifications from websites

  • Adds a preference to turn off push notification prompts from websites

  • Adds support for webpages with generic top-level domains

  • Strengthens Safari sandboxing

  • Fixes security issues, including several identified in recent security competitions


You'll find your update in the Mac App Store, and word of warning — this one requires a reboot.
