[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1578942"] "Apple has said its operating systems, OS X and iOS, as well as web services including iTunes and iCloud, which are used by millions of users and generate millions of transactions per day, [B]never used[/B] the vulnerable OpenSSL implementation." Emphasis mine, but that seems pretty clear-cut to me. Addendum: the latest version of Mavericks, on an unmodified system, reports it is equipped with version 0.9.8y, last updated 5 Feb 2013 (your date might vary). Of course you're not normally using OpenSSL at all (on a users' end) unless you've set up a web server, and even then it appears you are unaffected. To me this lends credence to Apple's contention that OS X has never used the vulnerable OpenSSL implementation, at the very least. [/QUOTE]
