Update: Apple appears to have pulled this update. Apple previously pulled a Safari update when it accidentally released a beta to the general public, but this doesn’t seem to be the same type of situation. The security document for the update is still live.
Apple has released a small patch for the three most recent versions of Safari running on OS X Yosemite, Mavericks, and Mountain Lion. The new versions are 8.0.1, 7.1.1, and 6.2.1, respectively.
The updated builds include fixes for features like WebGL graphics running on Macs with Retina displays, and problems with iCloud Keychain and syncing of browsing history. There is also a new option for importing saved usernames and passwords from the Firefox browser.
You can download the updates from the Software Update tab of the Mac App Store. There are no standalone installers, as Safari is now bundled with OS X.

Have they included a fix for the ML version that prevents it from crashing 3-10 times per day? Segmentation faults like crazy since the last update, and I’m not alone.
If you’re getting segfaults, it may be either a bad RAM stick or a 3rd party driver or something similar (FWIW, VMWare, Parallels and Virtual Box all hook into the OS at very low levels. Make sure they’re fully up to date!)
I’m running about 150 Mac’s using Mountain Lion for my employer and I haven’t seen any issue. We have iMacs, MBPros, Airs, and a handful of Pros and a couple Minis. Just about everything is running ML.
Mountain Lion update IS NOT AVAILABLE as of 12/3/1014 at 5:57 PM PST…
The update appears to have been pulled rather quickly after being released. Not sure why.
So I applied this update to my macbook pro this morning and it has completely broken Keychain logins and I cannot even login to my own user account. Thanks Apple.
