This security update provides a fix for SSL connection verification.

Impact: An attacker with a privileged network position may capture or modify data in sessions protected by SSL/TLS

Description: Secure Transport failed to validate the authenticity of the connection. This issue was addressed by restoring missing validation steps.

This update has come as a surprise for many as Apple’s next iOS 7.1 is expected to be released in a time of a couple weeks. While iOS 7.1 will be launching packed with major performance enhancements, introducing iOS in the Car, and general bug fixes, this update is here to fix the security issue. The flaw in SSL connection could let an attacker with privileged network position to capture or modify data in sessions protected by SSL/TLS.

For those who have jailbroken their devices, it is saner to wait for evad3rs official update on this before updating to this latest iOS 7.0.6.
