#APPLE SAFARI 2014 UPDATE#
Tapping "Software Update" will kick off the update process. To initiate an over-the-air update on an iPhone, for instance, users must tap the "Settings" icon, then the "General" button on the resulting screen. IOS 7.1.2 can be downloaded over the air or through iTunes. Mavericks 10.9.4 and Security Update 2014-003 can be retrieved by selecting "Software Update." from the Apple menu, or by opening the Mac App Store application and clicking the Update icon at the top right. After Yosemite launches - or possibly just before - Apple will probably stop serving OS X Lion with security updates, just as it halted those for Snow Leopard last September, several weeks before Mavericks' debut.Īccording to metrics vendor Net Applications, Lion powered just 12% of all Macs which went online in May.
If Apple sticks to its practice of the last two years, Monday's OS X updates will either be the next-to-last or second-to-last issued before OS X 10.10, aka "Yosemite," ships this fall. With Monday's update installed, the Wi-Fi connection problem seemed to disappear.įor iOS, the mobile operating system for the iPhone and iPad, the non-security changes included improved connectivity with Apple's iBeacons, and a fix for a data transfer bug when using third-party hardware accessories, such as a barcode scanner. Several Computerworld staffers' Macs had exhibited similar symptoms after starting or restarting their Macs. By Monday, that thread had over 140 comments, and had been viewed more than 55,000 times, the latter a good indictor of the problem's widespread prevalence. The first of those issues has generated some extensive threads on Apple's support forums, including one that began last November. On the non-security side, Apple fixed a small number of bugs in both OS X and iOS.įor the Mac, Apple said it had fixed a long-standing problem that prevented some systems from automatically connecting to known Wi-Fi networks, and improved the reliability of the OS to wake from sleep state. Most of the bugs were located in WebKit, the open-source browser engine that powers Safari on iOS (and OS X). IOS 7.1.2 patched an even larger number of vulnerabilities than either of the other Monday updates: Apple fixed 44 flaws, 30 of them critical, in iOS. In a drive-by, an unpatched browser can be compromised - and malware planted on the machine - simply by its user steering it at a rogue or hijacked site. Another way to put that would be to call successful exploits "drive-by download" attacks.
#APPLE SAFARI 2014 CODE#
"Visiting a maliciously crafted website may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution," Apple said in describing the impact of 10 of the browser bugs.
