Apple pushes OS X security update, Safari 7.0.3

Alongside the release of iOS 7.1.1 for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, Apple has released a security update for OS X.

Security Update 2014-002 is recommended for all users and improves the security of OS X. This update also includes Safari 7.0.3.

Improves credit card autofill compatibility with websites
Fixes an issue that could block receipt of push notifications from websites
Adds a preference to turn off push notification prompts from websites
Adds support for webpages with generic top-level domains
