On a Mac, Safari runs in a sandbox. It should not allow anything to escape and damage or infect the system.Bzzz ... thanks for playing !
Anyone else ?

Did you LOOK at your exalted link? The LATEST it has listed says:
WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before 6.2.1, 7.x before 7.1.1, and 8.x before 8.0.1, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted web site, a different vulnerability than other WebKit CVEs listed in APPLE-SA-2014-12-2-1.
Do you know what a "Sandbox" means? The most the vulnerability can do is CRASH Safari. That is all any code execution can do. . . it cannot reach the OS or any other data or apps running. Just exactly what I told you. Not much.
