And if you follow that you find:

"For detailed information about the security content of this update, 
please visit: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222"

and if you follow that, you find nothing about any security fixes (if

Here you go: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6150>

As I said in reply to the other thread, where did you find that link? 
(other than, perhaps, by googling the right terms -- I can't find it 
from the links in the update info itself.)

I am subscribed to security-announce@lists.apple.com. I got an email
this morning announcing the "APPLE-SA-2014-02-25-1 OS X Mavericks 10.9.2
and Security Update 2014-001". In that email was the text I posted
(along with a whole lot of other text), with this note at the bottom:

"Information will also be posted to the Apple Security Updates
web site: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222"i

Visiting that page shows a "Security updates" section with the very
first item in the list named "OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 and Security Update
2014-001". Clicking that link brings you to this web page, which
describes all of the security fixes in the update:

<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6150>

The HT1222 page doesn't show that link for everyone. Yet.

Apple's knowledge base articles are distributed via the Akamai content
distribution network, and it takes a while for changes to propagate to
all nodes. There might also be caching issues with some ISPs.

At present, if I look at HT1222, the first items are still the ones from
21 Feb: Apple TV 6.0.2, iOS 7.0.6 and iOS 6.1.6.

The HT6150 article has made it to the Akamai node I happen to be using,
because I can go directly to that page. (Ars Technica posted an article
with a link, and it worked for me before I got the security-announce
e-mail.)

From past experience, I expect to see the links to the latest security
update articles in the HT1222 article about 12 to 24 hours after Apple
releases the update.

The security-announce mailing list is almost always a faster way of
being notified about Apple security updates. I received three messages
via that list earlier today: 10.9.2 and Security Update 2014-001, Safari
6.1.2 and 7.0.2, and QuickTime 7.5.5 for Windows.

Ah, yes, good point. That's probably confusing for some. In fact, I
remember encountering it once or twice. I like getting the announcement
emails. Everything you need is right there in the email message.

Interesting. When I load that page the string "10.9.2" does not appear
on the page at all. The top line is about the AppleTV update.

> <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6150>

That works, however.

As has been discussed, it takes time to propagate to all Akamai servers.
This is why I prefer to get the email announcements directly from Apple.

Yup, and notice the tense of the verb in the quoted sentence:

It didn't contain that yesterday after I installed the update.  Yes, I 
did flush the Safari cache just in case.  But it is there today.

I tend to run "software update" every day anyway, just to see what's 
there.

2 MacBook Pros (Air and Retina), both reverted to a very old set of
Safari bookmarks. I had to export from my backup.

Also it turned on iCloud: Mail, Safari, Reminders and Documents & Data.
I had these boxes unchecked previously.

So far everything else seems ok but these changes were unexpected.

No problems so far here on several different Macs. 

<https://gotofail.com> reports "Safe" for each of them.

My laptop at work booted with both the internal and external monitor 
backlights completely off.  A forced reboot didn't fix it and the 
brightness keys didn't work.  I had to unplug the external monitor and 
shine a light through the Apple logo to log in.  The backlight keys then 
worked after login finished.

So.  It really is good for something besides advertising.

I had no trouble, at all.  As for Safari, I only have about
50 bookmarks, though.
