   Safari 8.0.8, 7.1.8, and 6.2.8

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Apple has released Safari 7.1.8 for OS X 10.9 Mavericks and Safari
   6.2.8 for 10.8 Mountain Lion, along with Safari 8.0.8 for 10.10
   Yosemite (which is included in the just-released 10.10.5 update; see
   '[1]OS X 10.10.5 Yosemite and iOS 8.4.1 Address Numerous Security
   Holes,' 14 August 2015). All three versions receive numerous
   [2]security fixes, including an improved method of displaying the
   origins of prompts for user information, multiple memory corruption
   patches in WebKit, improved cookie handling, and a fix for a problem
   with caching HTTP authentication (which could carry over credentials
   entered in private browsing to regular browsing). Safari 7.1.8 and
   Safari 6.2.8 are available as standalone downloads via Software Update,
   while Safari 8.0.8 is available only within the 10.10.5 Yosemite
   update. (Free)
