iOS Update Quashes Dangerous SSL Bug

Summary: Apple released iOS 7.0.6 on a Friday to fix a flaw that let attackers read and modify encrypted communications on iPhones, iPads and other iOS devices, provided the attacker controlled the WiFi or cellular network the device used. Apple said it was working on a patch for the same flaw in OS X, and the bug was later reported to have been introduced in iOS 6.0 and OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
Bottom line: The flaw let an attacker with control of the network intercept encrypted email, web browsing and other traffic, and it was not clear how long the bug had been in Apple's software.
