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."
