CUPERTINO, Calif., Feb. 25 (UPI) -- Apple issued a patch for OS X Mavericks users Tuesday, which among other things fixes the SSL bug that made users susceptible to external attacks.
This comes a week after Apple discovered the bug, which seemed to have creeped into the code some time in 2012. The security hole is not present in versions of OS X prior to OS X 10.9 Mavericks or iOS prior to iOS 6. Users have been advised to update their Apple devices to protect their security.
