Those of you who downloaded the the Windows Safari 3.0 beta earlier this week should head on over to the download site and grab the new 3.0.1. Or even easier, just use the auto-updater included with Safari. It patches a number of security holes found this week (listed after the jump), and should probably be installed as quickly as possible. This is only for Windows, btw. Macs don’t have those problems. (Typical.)

Safari 3.0.1 Public Beta for Windows is now available and addresses
the following issues in Safari 3 Public Beta:
CVE-ID: CVE-2007-3186

Impact: Visiting a malicious website may lead to arbitrary code
execution
