   Safari 8.0.7, 7.1.7, and 6.2.7

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   Apple has released Safari 8.0.7 for OS X 10.10 Yosemite, along with
   Safari 7.1.7 for 10.9 Mavericks and Safari 6.2.7 for 10.8 Mountain
   Lion, with all three receiving improved performance thanks to a
   reduction in Safari's memory usage, as well as a fix for an issue that
   enabled a Web site to prevent you from navigating away from a page
   using JavaScript alerts. Additionally, the three versions of Safari
   receive several [1]security fixes, including an issue with PDF-embedded
   links that could lead to cookie theft or user information leakage as
   well as vulnerabilities associated with WebKit page loading and WebSQL
   database access. All three versions of Safari are available only via
   Software Update. (Free)
