   Safari 8.0.2, 7.1.2, and 6.2.2

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   After releasing updates to the Safari Web browser and subsequently
   pulling them back in the first week of December, Apple has released
   Safari 8.0.2 for OS X 10.10 Yosemite (along with Safari 7.1.2 for 10.9
   Mavericks and Safari 6.2.2 for 10.8 Mountain Lion). The release notes
   for Safari 8.0.2 are similar to the pulled version, fixing a bug that
   prevented history from syncing across devices if iCloud Drive wasn't
   turned on, improving performance of WebGL graphics on Retina displays,
   and enabling username and password imports from Firefox. But there is
   another ' a fix for the issue that caused some users to not be able to
   access Safari after installing the previously pulled version 8.0.1. All
   three versions of Safari also receive a fix for an issue that could
   prevent a saved password from being autofilled after two devices are
   added to iCloud Keychain. The three releases also bring the same
   [1]security updates from the Safari 8.0.1/7.1.1/6.2.1 triumvirate,
   including fixes for WebKit vulnerabilities that could lead to execution
   of arbitrary code due to memory corruption issues and user interface
   spoofing. All three versions of Safari are available from Software
   Update. (Free)
