Steve Jobs must have been kicking ass and taking names. Because only 3 days after the initial release, of Apple's Safari Web Browser for Windows that had 6 security bugs known as of this article, Apple has released an updated version, version of the Safari software. According to Engadet the following bugs have been fixed with this new release.
CVE-ID: CVE-2007-3186 Available for: Windows XP or Vista Impact: Visiting a malicious website may lead to arbitrary code execution Description: A command injection vulnerability exists in the Windows version of Safari 3 Public Beta. By enticing a user to visit a maliciously crafted web page, an attacker can trigger the issue which may lead to arbitrary code execution.

This does not pose a security issue on Mac OS X systems, but could lead to an unexpected termination of the Safari browser.
