It's also a security update but Apple didn't find that fit for SoftwareUpdate. They did mention it on their security-announce list though.

Funny, I just noticed today that my preferences for Safari had magically changed to "Accept all cookies." Glad they got that fixed. Having your preferences set to accept cookies "Only from the sites I visit" is a no-brainer.

Have yet to see the update via software update, so I'll have to manually download.
