Fix the iPhone’s Security Bug On Jailbroken Phones without Upgrading
Behind iPhone’s Critical Security Bug, a Single Bad ‘Goto’
Some software bugs are infinitely subtle and complicated. Others are comprehensible almost at a glance to anyone who dabbled in BASIC as a kid. The iOS 7 bug is in the latter group.
Did you see it? This function is called when a iPhone connects to an encrypted site over SSL: it’s meant to verify that the encryption key is being vouched for — digitally signed — by the operator of the website.
But notice the two “goto fail” lines, one after the other. The first one belongs there. The second is a typo. That extra, duplicative line diverts the program’s execution, like a bypass stent, right past a critical authentication check. The part where the digital signature is actually checked is dead code, never reached.

Something just blew up. In Apple’s face. Big time.
Why Apple’s Recent Security Flaw Is So Scary.

Another way to put it? Update your iPhoneright now.
Oh, and by the way,OS X has the same issues—except there’s no fix out yet.
In simple terms, someone can intercept traffic between you and the site your accessing, and pull of a “Man in the Middle” attack:
I could make all manner of snarky comments on this, but I won’t.
