OS X Update 10.9.2 now available, patches SSL/TLS hole [Updated]



OS X 10.9.2 update


OS X 10.9.2 just arrived via the Mac App Store, bringing with it a number of "improvements to the stability, compatibility and security of your Mac."


While the update seems to focus on issues that were occurring with FaceTime audio calls, iMessages, Mail, and server/VPN connections, there's no word on whether or not it has also fixed the SSL vulnerability that was recently patched in iOS 7.0.6 and 6.1.6. Update: developer Steve Streza confirms that Safari now behaves correctly/securely in 10.9.2, indicating that the security hole has been plugged as expected.


The "detailed information about the security content of this update" has not been posted as of publication time, nor has the "detailed information about this update." You may wish to check those two links for more information.


Thanks to Andrew, Eric and everyone who sent this in.
