According to an Apple advisory issued Thursday, a command injection vulnerability in the original beta could be used to trigger remote code execution. The bug could be exploited if the user visits a malicious Web site. This update fixes the vulnerability by performing additional processing and URL validation, according to the advisory.

Apple describes the last bug being patched as an out-of-bounds memory read issue, which could lead to unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution when a user visits a malicious Web site. This, too, does not affect Mac OS X systems.
