My guess is that since on iOS every "browser" uses mobile Safari as a backend it was critical. On Mac, Chrome and Firefox do not have this issue, so it isn't as much of an issue. I'm not sure what percentage of Mac users use Safari.



Yes, nobody cares about their email or icloud account passwords being exposed.

Good thing they made sure all our AppleTVs are safe from MITMs, though.


Are you saying that since no one actually uses Safari it doesn't matter?

Or are you saying that this doesn't impact the underlying SSL library for all of OSX?

Or are you saying that no one (should) use Mac for actual work, so it doesn't matter?

Obviously, you're not saying these things, but what if you did. :)


The vulnerability didn't affect Chrome and Firefox, or my brew-upgraded curl. I wasn't too worried.
