It’s only been a couple of weeks since Safari 3 came out in beta. We’re already to 3.0.2 for security upgrades. That’s pretty impressive.
From ArsTechnicaApple updates Safari and Mac OS X to fix security issues:
Apple has released Safari 3.0.2 for both Mac and Windows with lots of tweaks, including some security fixes. They’ve also issued Security Update 2007-006 for anyone who isn’t using Safari 3.
Microsoft Windows Live ID sounds very suspiciously like .Net (now in the neutered form of Passport) all over again with a few changes. From Trevin Chow:
“The current plan is that Windows Live ID will support both self-issued and third-party managed [InfoCards] as a mechanism to authenticate users when accessing Windows Live services. Subsequently, Windows Live ID will also issue managed cards to enable users to use their Windows Live ID with third parties.”
I like the 3rd party aspect of it, and I think this gives it a much better chance of success, depending on how much “control” Microsoft keeps. With the growing popularity and prevalence of the Microsoft Live products and families, I suspect we’ll be using Windows Live ID a great deal.
Microsoft has released updates for both Windows SharePoint Services and SharePoint Portal Services.

It’s anyone’s guess how long it will be before Microsoft releases a patch for the WMF vulnerability (Google news). Until that time, Ilfak Guilfanov has released a patch. Via Steve Gibson and Security Now! Episode #20 podcast. This is a serious threat, so patch yourself ASAP and don’t open any WMF files until you do!
