No, it was Apple that blocked this itself, and there is nothing wrong with Safari:

This is because there is a Java 0-day being massively exploited in the wild, and the US Department of Homeland Security has actually recommended users disable or uninstall Java:

The patch we'll be waiting for will be a Java patch from Oracle, not anything from Apple.
