Apple Fixes AutoFill Flaw in Massive Safari Update

Apple has released a major update to its Safari browser that includes a number of security fixes. The new version of Safari 5.0 includes a patch for the AutoFill vulnerability disclosed recently. The flaw, identified by researcher Jeremiah Grossman, enabled attackers to pull a treasure trove of personal information about users from the browser. Grossman began speaking publicly about the flaw last week and will give a presentation on it at the Black Hat conference here this week. The update also fixes 14 vulnerabilities in Webkit, the open source layout engine that Safari uses.
