The security hole patched with firmware v.7.0.6 was known as gotofail and it could possibly be dangerous to millions of Apple customers whose data could be compromised for a long time. The problem still exists on OS X devices, but it will surely be patched soon.
If you
haven’t had time to install iOS 7.0.6 you can do it now. The earlier firmware
releases contain a bug that makes it possible to hijack your data while you are
connected over SSL / TLS network. This is not a difficult thing to do for
hackers. CrowdStrike explained the problem as follows:
A hacker is able to get through SSL / TLS verification system and pretend to appear from a trusted company [for example, your webmail provider etc.] and intercept your traffic or modify your personal data.
Gotofail
bug can work through Safari browser or your Messages or Calling application. You can
protect yourself by using Chrome browser or any other browser and service not
created by Apple. Most experts advise to install iOS 7.0.6 file and get rid of
the problem. Don’t worry about jailbreak as you are able to untether jailbreak
via Evasi0n7 update.
It will
surely take time as you will have to download all the jailbreak tweaks over
again. It’s worth your security, isn’t it? It’s up to you whether to update to
version 7.0.6 or not. We just wanted to let you know that dangerous bugs should
be fixed as soon as possible.
