Safari Vulnerability

Didn't we learn this lesson already? Disable the "Open 'safe' files after downloading" and this won't affect you.

In any case, according to Ars Technica a German security firm discovered a Safari vulnerability by which a shell script could be run after clicking on a link. Set "Panic button" to Mildly cautious; Ars Technica advises: "Currently, the exploit is not out in the wild. Until Apple issues an update to Mac OS X and/or Safari, however, Safari users should change their user preferences to remove the possibility of malicious scripts causing damage. Or they could switch browsers. I would expect a patch to come Real Soon Now, as this should be easy to fix."

I'd guess we'll see a security update later today or tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
