pwn2own safari bug ever get patched?

[Schtibbie]

My wife uses safari and i use firefox and i noticed quite awhile back that firefox had patched the security hole that hacker found in that pwn2own contest but I don't recall if Safari got updated shortly thereafter. Did it? I could have easily forgotten having agreed to install apple updates. I'm contemplating having her switch to firefox too but i like having different bookmarks and setting w/o different OS "users".

As far as I'm aware, no, it hasn't yet been fixed. I don't think Apple feel it is a major concern, as the details of it haven't been released publicly and there is very little threat to the end user at present.

I know that the bug inside of Firefox definitally got fixed... so I would maybe give that a try!!

I'm pretty sure it hasn't been, Apple are pretty slow at patching things like this.

Its do-able to have one firefox but two profiles that you and your wife can run them separately with same mac OSX account. two profiles will have their own bookmarks, passwords, addons, etc.
