Report says Security Update 2007-009 may cause Safari crash. I haven't experienced this.

It turns out that changes in Safari, in order to increase security, could cause crashes in some special circumstances. That can happen due to the way the security update affects how frames are handled in Safari, according to TMO's resident coding wizard, Stephen Swift.

"The error happens when the user tries to submit a form to another target frame or window. Safari stops that, and, in fact, crashes. The idea is to keep any malicious hacker from, for example, trying to load code into a hidden window," Mr. Swift proposed. [However, crashing may not be the intended behavior.]
