Better switch to a more secure OS like Linux or Windows. And for phones Windows Phone is the most secure right now.
Please ping both your aliases. Shadow I know you don’t like pinging apple stuff as swordmaker does that for his group, but this is pretty big and the tech community needs to be aware of it.
Look out below!
Mac users will be jumping out of the windows.
Macs NEVER have a problem with viruses, etc. [/s]
The fixes are iOS 7.0.6 (iPhone 4 to 5S, iPad 2 and later) and iOS 6.1.6 (iPhone 3GS and 4th generation iPod touch).
Fanboys all around the world are in stunned disbelief.
OSX is a derivative of Unix. The truth of the matter is, ANY operating system is vulnerable. It’s just a matter of what degree.
static OSStatus SSLVerifySignedServerKeyExchange(SSLContext *ctx, bool isRsa, SSLBuffer signedParams, uint8_t *signature, UInt16 signatureLen) { OSStatus err; ... if ((err = SSLHashSHA1.update(&hashCtx, &serverRandom)) != 0) goto fail; if ((err = SSLHashSHA1.update(&hashCtx, &signedParams)) != 0) goto fail; goto fail; if ((err = SSLHashSHA1.final(&hashCtx, &hashOut)) != 0) goto fail; ... fail: SSLFreeBuffer(&signedHashes); SSLFreeBuffer(&hashCtx); return err; }Source
Note that going to fail doesn't actually signal failure unless err is non-zero, and that the third goto is unconditional, thus keeping the third if-test from ever running.
According to the source link, there is possibly a compiler option that, had it been used, would have raised a warning about the unreachable code.
“If you’re using any Apple product and think it’s secure you’re only fooling yourself. Plus they got many of the dumb users on their products so I suspect many of their users are completely owned.”
Since MS OS is used by such a majority of computer users, I imagine “dumb users” are concentrated in Windows.
“Better switch to a more secure OS like ......Windows.”
Oh my gosh!!! I needed a laugh!!
AAPL SUX I will never buy an apple product. Screw those commies. I use Windows 7 and 8. I use a cell phone but any smart phone/tablet will be an android
