Last updated 2 years ago

Apple is currently pushing out the latest Safari iteration to users of macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave, though the company failed to detail the update's contents in accompanying release notes.

Safari 14.1.2 is listed on an Apple security update support document , however, suggesting the new version contains important bug fixes and security enhancements that typically accompany operating system point releases.

Apple on Monday issued iOS 14.7 , tvOS 14.7 and watchOS 7.6 to the public on Monday following weeks of beta testing.

Along with new features, like MagSafe Battery Pack support and Apple Card Family upgrades on iOS, the latest round of updates include a number of bug fixes and security patches. Apple has yet to publish details on the security enhancements, but is expected to do so later today.

All new operating system versions are currently being pushed through Apple's software update delivery system, while Safari 14.1.2 can be downloaded by navigating to Software Update in System Preferences.

According to the support page, the rollout of Safari 14.1 was started again on May 4, for macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave. For users on Big Sur, macOS 11.3.1 was released on May 3, and also contains updates that resolve these WebKit vulnerabilities so users should update their OS as soon as possible.

Kaspersky antivirus is banned, so you should try one of these 3 alternatives, these features make the chatgpt desktop app better than the website.

If you have an older Mac running macOS Mojave or Catalina, you're recommended to download Safari 14.1 to strengthen your computer's security and protect your privacy.

Safari 14.1 Fixes Three WebKit Vulnerabilities

That's because the new Safari 14.1 patches WebKit vulnerabilities that permit bad actors to execute rogue code on your computer without user consent. WebKit is a layout engine used by Apple's own Safari browser and all third-party browsers on the iPhone and iPad.

The flaws are detailed in a support document on Apple's website .

There are three major vulnerabilities that Safari 14.1 patches, spanning WebKit, WebKit Storage, and WebKit RTC. In WebKit, Apple has addressed an input validation issue with improved input validation. This vulnerability let attackers craft malicious web content which could result in a cross-site scripting attack. This is a technique which enables malicious people to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users.

The WebKit Storage flaw allowed hackers to execute arbitrary code on a user’s device without consent via maliciously crafted web content. According to the company, "a use after free issue was addressed with improved memory management" in WebKit Storage.

The company has acknowledged that this particular flaw may have been actively exploited in the wild. Therefore, it's definitely a good idea to update to Safari 14.1 on your older Mac running the macOS Mojave or Catalina software. To do so, launch the System Preferences app and choose Software Update from the System Preferences window, then follow the onscreen instructions to download and install Safari 14.1.

Are Other Apple Devices at Risk?

The company has recently fixed WebKit security breaches on its other platforms. With the release of iOS and iPadOS 14.5.1, Apple patched the WebKit flaws on the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad . On the Mac, the same issues were addressed with macOS Bug Sur 11.3.1.

And last but not least, Apple has also released iOS 12.5.3 which patches the WebKit flaws on older devices that are incompatible with the latest iOS 14 software, including the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6, iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, and sixth-generation iPod touch.

Safari 14.1 Adds WebM, Date & Time Inputs, Web Speech, and More

Safari 14.1 for macOS Big Sur, iPadOS 14.5, and iOS 14.5 brings new WebKit features, APIs, and more for web developers. The full announcement can be read here but here are a few that may be more noticeable for end users.

Safari 14.1 Features

• Date & Time Inputs for Mac – In HTML, the date, time, datetime-local attributes for the input element prompt the browser to create date and/or time controls — an interface that’s designed to let the user easily enter a time or a date, usually with a calendar.
• Web Speech API – Now, Safari supports speech recognition powered by the same speech engine as Siri. That means web developers can enjoy the benefits of high-quality transcription for over 50 languages and dialects.
• WebM Support – WebKit added improved support for WebM media. Initial support began in Safari 12.1 with support for VP8 in WebM in the context of WebRTC only. With Safari 14, WebKit added support for WebM via MSE. Now, WebKit supports WebM files containing VP8 or VP9 video tracks and Vorbis audio tracks.
• Private Click Measuremen t – This release features Private Click Measurement – a proposed web standard that enables advertisers to measure the effectiveness of click-through ad campaigns in a privacy-preserving way. This new technology is part of a larger effort to remove cross-site tracking from the web and provide privacy-preserving alternatives where needed.

These improvements are available to users running Safari on iPadOS 14.5, iOS 14.5, or Safari 14.1 on macOS Big Sur (11.3), macOS Catalina, or macOS Mojave.

Apple Releases Safari 14.1.2 Update for macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave

Apple today released a new Safari 14.1.2 update that's available for macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave users.

New Safari updates are normally introduced alongside new macOS updates for the current version of macOS and security updates for older versions of macOS, but the Safari 14.1.2 update is available on its own and Apple has not yet released macOS Big Sur 11.5.

The Safari update can be downloaded by going to System Preferences and clicking on the Software Update section.

We'll update this article when Apple provides details on the security fixes.

It's just HTML coding, a bunch of videos, and web pages from around the world; in fact, I doubt many web pages are even created and updated on any of Apple's computers -- it's a Windows/Linux world, judging from the number of foreign language characters that show up on Mac-rendered web pages, all those  (and other geographcal-specific letterforms) that riddle (literally and figuratively) a typical printed web page from Mac Os.

After using it the past 30 seconds, I can tell you that 14.1.2 feels dramatically, the same.

I never understood the way Apple insists the only way to get the latest (safest) version of Safari is through the last 2 OS releases. Anything older than that -- say, 10.11 (El Capitan), 10.13 (High Sierra) et al -- are not updated. Suddenly any software updates or security fixes require (currently) 10.15 and maybe 10.14. I won't even go into OS 11 B.S. Land (that's Big Sur, to you, sir). To a degree, Firefox doesn't require this, not does Google Chrome doesn't require this. (They do have minimal OS requirements, though). But what web browser (other than Apple's Safari) requires that your computer have the latest OS releases installed first? snip snip Anyone still running iWeb --you know, "web design for the rest of us!" /s

macOS Catalina

Macos mojave, apple releases safari 14.1.2 for macos catalina and mojave with security improvements.

Apple today quietly released an updated version of Safari for users running versions of macOS prior to macOS Big Sur 11. Safari 14.1.2 is now available for macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave with security improvements and bug fixes.

The update follows the release of iOS 14.7 and watchOS 7.6 , which were made available to the public earlier today. The final builds of macOS Big Sur 11.5 and iPadOS 14.7 are yet to be released. However, what exactly these updates bring in terms of security improvements is unknown at this time.

On its security webpage , Apple only mentions that more details about today’s updates will be available soon. Earlier this year, Apple introduced Safari 14.1 for macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave , which fixed a serious exploit in WebKit that had been used to execute arbitrary code on a device without authorization.

Presumably another security breach in WebKit has been patched with the latest versions of iOS and macOS, and now Apple is releasing the same patch for Mac users who cannot update to macOS Big Sur. The company suggests that more details will be revealed after an investigation to confirm that the security update works.

For the protection of our customers, Apple doesn’t disclose, discuss, or confirm security issues until an investigation has occurred and patches or releases are generally available.

You can update Safari by going to the Software Update menu in the System Preferences app on your Mac.

• Apple says that it is a security update but has not specified what it is for.

Apple is bringing yet another security update to Safari users still on macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave.

The company has released Safari 14.1.2 to macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave. Apple says that the update is focused on security per the Apple Support website, but has not specified exactly what the security update is for. It says that the details of the release will be "available soon."

This is the second security update to Safari for macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave users in 2021. Back in May, Apple released Safari 14.1 that addressed a security issue with WebKit.

Apple has had a lot going on with Safari lately. The company recently rolled back some of the radical design changes it had made to the browser in iOS 15 and macOS Monterey after beta testers complained about some of the changes, especially with the tabs experience.

Comments About Safari 14.1.2

Notable replies.

Safari is notoriously slow on my computer. This version seems glacial. Firefox for example works normally on same websites

It’s not available only via software update – you can download it directly from Apple. For example, the Mojave updater: http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/44/05/071-47373-A_9A3CD8EVNY/jpiompzkddnter5tm1094w57tg63ok0axz/Safari14.1.2MojaveAuto.pkg

Interesting! Where did you find the link for that direct download?

Sort of an LOL comment, links are here: https://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/15675/apple-safari

Fascinating! I wouldn’t bet on that link working forever, although perhaps MacUpdate has ways of detecting if it breaks. Apple almost certainly wouldn’t be happy about that link being published if they knew. If nothing else, it’s a security concern if people think they can download Safari from any source other than Software Update.

On the other hand, many other downloads are publicly available at Apple - Support - Downloads such as the June 2nd Catalina security update and even entire MacOSes. I’m probably missing something, but since the Safari updates are being downloaded from Apple servers I’m not sure why it’s an issue to circumvent the Software update mechanism. I realize some updates are computer specific but many are not. In that case I’d much rather download an update once and apply it to multiple computers than download it onto every one.

That Support Downloads page used to have just about everything. Nowadays it only really seems to get security updates—nothing else has been posted there this year. The last Safari version posted there was from 2015.
