Apple rushed to release iOS 7.0.6 on Friday and OS X 10.9.2 today with patches for a shockingly overlooked SSL encryption issue that leaves iPhone, iPad and Mac computer users open to a man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack. All users of iOS 7 and Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9) should download and apply these patches. The vulnerability is not present in versions of OS X prior to OS X 10.9 Mavericks or iOS prior to iOS 6.
