Where to download just the Safari dmg/pkg

The internet traffic between our managed macOS Mojave laptops and the Apple Software Updates website is blocked for security reasons. So I can not use the regular System Preferences - Software Update to update native macOS software.

This is not an issue for me, because every time Apple release a Software Update, I wait a week or so and I visit the following URL https://support.apple.com/downloads and I download the specific package (in .dmg format), I save the .dmg package into a USB Stick and I update the macOS laptops and I am good to go.

Now, the problem is that Apple just released an important security update https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212808 just for Safari 14.1.2.

My question is since that I believe this time it is just Safari the issue, is Apple going to publish just the Safari .dmg package update on the regular https://support.apple.com/downloads website? If not, how can I download just the Safari 14.1.2 in .dmg/.pkg format so I can install into our macOS Mojave laptops?

Thank you so much in advance for your help.

Here is the Apple Url where you can get the URL for the recent 14.1.2 Safari update for Mojave,

https://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-10.15seed-10.15-10.14-10.13-10.12-10.11-10.10-10.9-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.gz

This opens up a very long list of Apple updates going back to 2015. The most recent updates appear at the bottom of the list,

so you can go straight to the bottom of the list and slowly scroll up till you get to the download you want. Please see the screenshot below,

The highlighted area is the address to copy and paste into a browser window.

Another quicker way to find the desired download link is to click on Edit in the menubar of the browser

and go to Find > Find... At the top of the browser window you should now see an area where you can enter

some keyword(s) to narrow the search, for example Safari14.1.2Mojave would result in this,

You can see the search has highlighted three files that match. The one ending in .pkg is the one to download.

We are fellow users and have no knowledge of future Apple business or product planning. There is no standalone, full installer for the current version of Safari, as it is only available bundled with the operating system, or via a Security update.

If you have an older Mac running macOS Mojave or Catalina, you're recommended to download Safari 14.1 to strengthen your computer's security and protect your privacy.

Safari 14.1 Fixes Three WebKit Vulnerabilities

That's because the new Safari 14.1 patches WebKit vulnerabilities that permit bad actors to execute rogue code on your computer without user consent. WebKit is a layout engine used by Apple's own Safari browser and all third-party browsers on the iPhone and iPad.

The flaws are detailed in a support document on Apple's website .

There are three major vulnerabilities that Safari 14.1 patches, spanning WebKit, WebKit Storage, and WebKit RTC. In WebKit, Apple has addressed an input validation issue with improved input validation. This vulnerability let attackers craft malicious web content which could result in a cross-site scripting attack. This is a technique which enables malicious people to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users.

The WebKit Storage flaw allowed hackers to execute arbitrary code on a user’s device without consent via maliciously crafted web content. According to the company, "a use after free issue was addressed with improved memory management" in WebKit Storage.

Related: How to Customize Safari’s Start Page on macOS

The company has acknowledged that this particular flaw may have been actively exploited in the wild. Therefore, it's definitely a good idea to update to Safari 14.1 on your older Mac running the macOS Mojave or Catalina software. To do so, launch the System Preferences app and choose Software Update from the System Preferences window, then follow the onscreen instructions to download and install Safari 14.1.

Are Other Apple Devices at Risk?

The company has recently fixed WebKit security breaches on its other platforms. With the release of iOS and iPadOS 14.5.1, Apple patched the WebKit flaws on the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad . On the Mac, the same issues were addressed with macOS Bug Sur 11.3.1.

And last but not least, Apple has also released iOS 12.5.3 which patches the WebKit flaws on older devices that are incompatible with the latest iOS 14 software, including the iPhone 5s and iPhone 6, iPad Air, iPad mini 2, iPad mini 3, and sixth-generation iPod touch.

macOS Catalina

Macos mojave, apple releases safari 14.1.2 for macos catalina and mojave with security improvements.

Apple today quietly released an updated version of Safari for users running versions of macOS prior to macOS Big Sur 11. Safari 14.1.2 is now available for macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave with security improvements and bug fixes.

The update follows the release of iOS 14.7 and watchOS 7.6 , which were made available to the public earlier today. The final builds of macOS Big Sur 11.5 and iPadOS 14.7 are yet to be released. However, what exactly these updates bring in terms of security improvements is unknown at this time.

On its security webpage , Apple only mentions that more details about today’s updates will be available soon. Earlier this year, Apple introduced Safari 14.1 for macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave , which fixed a serious exploit in WebKit that had been used to execute arbitrary code on a device without authorization.

Presumably another security breach in WebKit has been patched with the latest versions of iOS and macOS, and now Apple is releasing the same patch for Mac users who cannot update to macOS Big Sur. The company suggests that more details will be revealed after an investigation to confirm that the security update works.

For the protection of our customers, Apple doesn’t disclose, discuss, or confirm security issues until an investigation has occurred and patches or releases are generally available.

You can update Safari by going to the Software Update menu in the System Preferences app on your Mac.

Apple Releases Safari 14.1.2 Update for macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave

Apple today released a new Safari 14.1.2 update that's available for macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave users.

New Safari updates are normally introduced alongside new macOS updates for the current version of macOS and security updates for older versions of macOS, but the Safari 14.1.2 update is available on its own and Apple has not yet released macOS Big Sur 11.5.

The Safari update can be downloaded by going to System Preferences and clicking on the Software Update section.

We'll update this article when Apple provides details on the security fixes.

It's just HTML coding, a bunch of videos, and web pages from around the world; in fact, I doubt many web pages are even created and updated on any of Apple's computers -- it's a Windows/Linux world, judging from the number of foreign language characters that show up on Mac-rendered web pages, all those  (and other geographcal-specific letterforms) that riddle (literally and figuratively) a typical printed web page from Mac Os.

After using it the past 30 seconds, I can tell you that 14.1.2 feels dramatically, the same.

I never understood the way Apple insists the only way to get the latest (safest) version of Safari is through the last 2 OS releases. Anything older than that -- say, 10.11 (El Capitan), 10.13 (High Sierra) et al -- are not updated. Suddenly any software updates or security fixes require (currently) 10.15 and maybe 10.14. I won't even go into OS 11 B.S. Land (that's Big Sur, to you, sir). To a degree, Firefox doesn't require this, not does Google Chrome doesn't require this. (They do have minimal OS requirements, though). But what web browser (other than Apple's Safari) requires that your computer have the latest OS releases installed first? snip snip Anyone still running iWeb --you know, "web design for the rest of us!" /s

I'm not sure of the answer to your question, but I just wanted to say I think that's bizarre that your company thinks Apple's software update server is not secure. Why are they making employees jump through hoops to keep their OS updated and secure?  

macrumors 68040

Just wait a week like you normally would and download from the downloads site. The world will not end in 7-10 days without the update. You are best to wait a week anyway in case it $#%&'s up your machine (which is more common these days).

Have you tried the softwareupdate command in Terminal? softwareupdate -l to list available updates. Each update will have a couple of lines. You want the update listed on the line with the asterisk. Be sure to quote the update name when you download it, like this softwareupdate -d "update name" . You will find the resulting download in /Library/Updates. Safari updates do show and are downloadable using this process. I just downloaded the Safari security update (.pkg file) mentioned by the OP.

Apple is bringing yet another security update to Safari users still on macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave.

The company has released Safari 14.1.2 to macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave. Apple says that the update is focused on security per the Apple Support website, but has not specified exactly what the security update is for. It says that the details of the release will be "available soon."

This is the second security update to Safari for macOS Catalina and macOS Mojave users in 2021. Back in May, Apple released Safari 14.1 that addressed a security issue with WebKit.

Apple has had a lot going on with Safari lately. The company recently rolled back some of the radical design changes it had made to the browser in iOS 15 and macOS Monterey after beta testers complained about some of the changes, especially with the tabs experience.

Technical How-tos, Tips, and Tricks

New version of safari 14.1.2 for macos mojave and catalina.

July 26, 2021 Matt Mills News , Software 0

Although we are now close to receiving all the news about macOS Monterey, the truth is that there are many Macs that not only will not be compatible with this new version, but they are not compatible with the current one from Big Sur. Apple has not forgotten the users who have one of those Macs and has released a browser update that should be updated due to the news it brings.

Apple Releases “Obsolete” Safari 14.1.2 for Macs

Yesterday there were software releases by Apple with iOS 14.7, watchOS 7.6 and tvOS 14.7. What appears to be the final beta of macOS 11.5 was also released. However, there was a release that made no headlines and yet is vitally important to those who own one of these computers:

• MacBook Air (2012)
• MacBook Pro (2012 and early 2013)
• iMac (2012 and 2013)

We previously put the quotation marks to “obsolete” because actually these Macs continue to work perfectly, they are just not compatible with versions equal to or later than macOS 11. These were left in macOS Mojave or macOS Catalina. However, Apple has not forgotten about them and has released the aforementioned version of Safari 14.1.2.

How to upgrade and why

It is taken for granted that when a Mac is no longer compatible with new versions of software, it will no longer be able to enjoy visual and functional novelties that are being introduced. However, it is common for Apple to launch complementary updates for several years later for them with the aim that they remain safe equipment, understanding that perhaps not all users can afford to buy one of the new computers.

In this case, a system update has not been launched as such, but the Safari browser. However, the way to proceed to update to version 14.1.2 of Safari is the same as when updating the whole system. If you have one of those computers mentioned above you should go to System Preferences> Software Update and there you will find this version of the browser ready for download and subsequent installation. You will likely have to have the application closed and restart once it completes.

You should know that if you have a version prior to macOS Mojave, you probably won’t find this Safari update. That is why you must first update to the latest version of the system that you have available and then the browser version will appear (if it does not install itself when updating the Mac completely).

The reason why we indicate that it is important to update is to bring important security patches that will keep it safe to navigate through it. Apple did not detail exactly what type of specific bugs this version corrects, but considering that it does not usually launch these updates if there are no major errors, it seems that very relevant security problems must have been detected.
