Apple Releases Safari Technology Preview 137 With Bug Fixes and Performance Improvements

Apple today released a new update for Safari Technology Preview, the experimental browser Apple first introduced in March 2016. Apple designed the ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ to test features that may be introduced into future release versions of Safari.

Safari Technology Preview Feature
‌Safari Technology Preview‌ release 137 includes bug fixes and performance improvements for Web Inspector, CSS, JavaScript, WebAssembly, Experimental Model Element, Accessibility, Web API, Content Security Policy, Media, Apple Pay, and Web Extensions.

The current ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ release is built on the Safari 15.4 update and it includes Safari 15 features introduced in macOS Monterey. There’s a new streamlined tab bar with support for Tab Groups to organize tabs, along with improved support for Safari Web Extensions. Apple in ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ 135 added 120Hz refresh rates for the new 14 and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.

Live Text allows users to select and interact with text in images on the web, but ‌macOS Monterey‌ and an M1 Mac is required. There’s also Quick Notes support for adding links and Safari highlights to remember important information and ideas. The new ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ update is available for both macOS Big Sur and ‌macOS Monterey‌, the newest version of the Mac operating system.

The ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ update is available through the Software Update mechanism in System Preferences to anyone who has downloaded the browser. Full release notes for the update are available on the Safari Technology Preview website.

Apple’s aim with ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ is to gather feedback from developers and users on its browser development process. ‌Safari Technology Preview‌ can run side-by-side with the existing Safari browser and while designed for developers, it does not require a developer account to download.

Emergency Google Chrome update fixes zero-days used in attacks

Emergency Google Chrome update fixes zero-days used in attacks

Emergency Google Chrome update fixes zero-days used in attacks

Google has released Chrome 95.0.4638.69 for Windows, Mac, and Linux to fix two zero-day vulnerabilities that attackers have actively exploited.

“Google is aware that exploits for CVE-2021-38000 and CVE-2021-38003 exist in the wild,” Google disclosed in the list of security fixes in today’s Google Chrome release.

While Google states that the new version may take some time to reach everyone, the update has already started rolling out Chrome 95.0.4638.69 to users worldwide in the Stable Desktop channel. 

To install the Chrome update immediately, go to Chrome menu > Help > About Google Chrome, and the browser will begin performing the update.

Chrome 95.0.4638.69 was installed immediately
Chrome 95.0.4638.69 was installed immediately

Google Chrome will also check for available updates and install them the next time you launch the web browser.

Zero-day attacks’ details not disclosed

This Chrome release fixes a total of seven vulnerabilities, with two being zero-days that are known to have been exploited in the wild.

The first zero-day, tracked as CVE-2021-38000, is described as an “Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Intents” and was assigned a High severity level. This vulnerability was discovered by Clement Lecigne, Neel Mehta, and Maddie Stone of Google Threat Analysis Group on September 15th, 2021.

The second zero-day, tracked as CVE-2021-38003, is a High severity “Inappropriate implementation” bug in the Chrome V8 JavaScript engine. This vulnerability was discovered by Lecigne as well and reported on October 24th.

At this time, Google or the researchers have not provided further details regarding how threat actors used the vulnerabilities in attacks. However, as Google discovered the vulnerabilities, we may learn more in future reports by Google TAG or Project Zero.

As these two vulnerabilities have been used in attacks, it is suggested that all Chrome users perform a manual upgrade or restart their browser to install the latest version.

Fifteenth zero-day fixed this year

With these fixes, Google has patched 15 Chrome zero-day vulnerabilities since the beginning of 2021.

The other thirteen zero-days patched this year are listed below:

  • CVE-2021-21148 – February 4th, 2021
  • CVE-2021-21166 – March 2nd, 2021
  • CVE-2021-21193 – March 12th, 2021
  • CVE-2021-21220 – April 13th, 2021
  • CVE-2021-21224 – April 20th, 2021
  • CVE-2021-30551 – June 9th, 2021
  • CVE-2021-30554 – June 17th, 2021
  • CVE-2021-30563 – July 15th, 2021
  • CVE-2021-30632 and CVE-2021-30633 – September 13th
  • CVE-2021-37973 – September 24th, 2021
  • CVE-2021-37976 and CVE-2021-37975 – September 30th, 2021

As Google is now pushing out Chrome updates to fix zero-days as they are reported, it is strongly advised that users do not block updates and install new versions as they become available.
