- Be very careful if you do this morning's Safari 6.1 update for 10.8.x. It has hosed my MBA and according to Apple, many others. Either wait or try your luck once you have at least 1 bootable backup. I'm running Mac OSX 10.9 (since yesterday) but I have been running Mac OS X 10.8.x for quite some time.
- Tested on production 1.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i5-based 13-inch MacBook Pro systems with 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, and prerelease macOS Big Sur. Tested with prerelease Safari 14.0.1 and Chrome v85.0.4183.121. Performance will vary based on usage, system configuration, network connection, and other factors.
- Safari is a graphical web browser developed by Apple, based on the WebKit engine. First released on desktop in 2003 with Mac OS X Panther, a mobile version has been bundled with iOS devices since the iPhone's introduction in 2007. Safari is the default browser on Apple devices. A Windows version was available from 2007 to 2012.
A fix for an issue that could cause the inaccurate appearance of an alert that bookmarks can't be changed has been resolved, alongside an error that could cause duplicate bookmarks to appear on an iOS device after editing bookmarks with Safari in OS X.
Some users also experienced an issue that permitted them to access unfiltered search results when searching from google.com when Parental Controls were enabled. Apple has addressed this bug as well.
Finally, Safari 6.0.3 corrects an issue that prevented the browser from restoring the last position on a webpage a user navigated back to.
Some security patches are also included. For example, multiple memory corruption issues exist in WebKit.
Also affecting the browser's page rendering engine, a cross-site scripting issue existed in the handling of frame elements.
Another cross-site scripting issue existed in the handling of content pasted from a different origin. All these issues have been addressed in the new Safari 6.0.3 for Macs.
Apple credits numerous security researchers for discovering and reporting the latest vulnerabilities in Safari, including a handful of members from the Google Chrome Security team.
Safari 6.0.3 is aimed at Mountain Lion customers and requires at least OS X 10.8.2, according to the system requirements. However, the security advisory indicates that OS X 10.7 Lion customers are also targeted.
Users who download and install the official OS X 10.8.3 released by Apple this week will have Safari 6.0.3 installed by default.
