Just two weeks after offering the first fixes for the Windows version of its Safari browser, Apple is at it again, plugging two more holes in the browser that could allow devious Intervillains to launch spoofing and HTTP redirection attacks on unsuspecting users. Both vulnerabilities affect Windows XP and Vista systems while the HTTP redirection bug also affects OS X users. This marks the second time that Apple has released a set of patches for the browser during its less than three-week lifespan. So far, so good, though I doubt Apple will be able to maintain this track record for long.
