Extremely critical crypto flaw in iOS may also affect fully patched Macs
http://j.mp/1jWjnmq (Ars Technica)
"A critical iOS vulnerability that Apple patched on Friday gives
attackers an easy way to surreptitiously circumvent the most widely
used technology for preventing eavesdropping on the Internet. That
made the security bug about as dire as one can be. Now, there's strong
evidence that the same flaw also exposes sensitive e-mail and Web
communications on fully patched versions of OS X, with no indication
that there is a patch currently available for the millions of people
who use the Mac operating system."
