A subtle mistake in how Apple implemented a basic encryption feature that shields data from snooping also affects many desktop applications that rely on the code, according to a noted security researcher.
Apple released a patch on Friday for its iOS mobile platform but has yet to fix the problem for desktop computers, which often have several applications that rely on the faulty code library, called Secure Transport.
Ashkan Soltani, an independent privacy and security researcher, said many other Apple and non-Apple applications are affected.
Security researcher Ashkan Soltani said several other desktop applications, include Apples Mail, FaceTime and Calendar, use a code library that could allow an attacker to steal data. (Click to enlarge.)
Those include Apples Mail, FaceTime, Calendar, Keynote, the Safari browser, iBooks and its Software Update applications. It would also appear to affect third-party applications, such as the desktop Twitter application and possibly VPN (virtual private network) connections, depending on their configurations, Soltani said.
The Secure Transport library, which handles setting up an encrypted connection for many applications, was contained in iOS 6 and up and OSX versions 10.9 and up, Soltani said via email.
Most websites handling sensitive personal data use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security), which establishes an encrypted connection between a server and a persons computer. If an attacker intercepts the data, it is unreadable.
Apples mistake in Secure Transport allows an attacker to perform a man-in-middle attack, and supply fake data that makes it appear an authentic web service has been cryptographically verified.
This enables an adversary to masquerade as coming from a trusted remote endpoint, such as your favorite webmail provider and perform full interception of encrypted traffic between you and the destination server, wrote Alex Radocea, senior engineer with the computer security firm CrowdStrike, on Friday. CrowdStrike analyzed Apples patch for iOS after it was released.
The flaw is deeply buried in a line of code, wrote Adam Langley, a software engineer at Google, on his personal blog.

"This isn't about switching to open source software, but to a format widely and well-supported by open source office formats," noted blogger Chris Travers. "The government could continue to run Microsoft Office, but the preferred data format would be ODF. This makes Microsoft's argument seem to be rather shrill. Why on earth would changing the default format of released documents be a big deal?"
Here in the Linux community, we're all familiar with the many benefits that come with using open source software -- customizability, interoperability, and freedom from vendor lock-in, to name just a few examples.
Well, Linux Girl has shocking news to report. It turns out there's also a BIG PROBLEM associated with open source software that we've all apparently overlooked: dissatisfaction!
Yes, that's right, dear readers: Open source software causes dissatisfaction and other assorted problems for its users! Thank goodness Microsoft is around to alert us to this worrying situation.
'This Will Cause Problems'
"You may not be aware, but the UK government is currently in the process of making important selections about which open standards to mandate the use of in future," began Microsoft blogger Alexbuk in a post last week.
"The government proposes to mandate Open Document format (ODF) and exclude the most widely supported and used open standard for document formats, Open XML (OOXML)," Alexbuk went on to helpfully explain.
"We believe this will cause problems for citizens and businesses who use office suites which don't support ODF," he suggested. Not only that, but "we believe very strongly that the current proposal is likely to increase costs, cause dissatisfaction amongst citizens and businesses, add complexity to the process of dealing with government and negatively impact some suppliers to government."
Imagine that, dear readers! All these years and we had no idea. Luckily, there's been plenty of tequila on hand down at the blogosphere's Broken Windows Lounge to help soften the blow.

News Flash from Redmond: FOSS Causes Dissatisfaction!

Assange "talked as if the world needed him to talk and never to stop," O'Hagan writes. "Oddly for a dissident, he had no questions."
The project failed spectacularly over the next five months.
O'Hagan, an Editor at Large of Esquire, has now written a 25,000-word lambasting in the London Review of Books, in which he describes the 42-year-old Australian as "thin-skinned, conspiratorial, untruthful, [and] narcissistic."
O'Hagan, who is actually quite sympathetic to Assange, spent months around the publisher and his entourage.
The account, which seems genuine, is devastating to popular notions of Assange as a hero of transparency who has been persecuted by the governments that he holds into account.
Here are some of the most damning parts:
"His paranoia was losing him support and in a normal organization ... he would have been fired."
"The man who put himself in charge of disclosing the worlds secrets simply couldnt bear his own. The story of his life mortified him and sent him scurrying for excuses."
"His pride could engulf the room in flames. ... I was often the only person over 35 near him, apart from himself, of course, and he didnt see the problem. He didnt see the cult-leader aspect."

Alex Dery-Chaffin sees a revolution ahead.
A bitcoin revolution.
We are on the brink of a massive change, says Dery-Chaffin, manager of Tucsons Chaffins Family Restaurant, which recently began accepting the cryptocurrency.
Its brand new, cutting edge, but it makes a lot of sense.
Bitcoins have been a hot topic recently from money-laundering accusations to a volatile market to a possible computer-programming flaw that has left the worlds largest bitcoin exchange sputtering.
But those problems cant deter Dery-Chaffin and other Tucsonans who are sure bitcoins are here to stay.
I believe that by the end of the year you will be surprised at how many people will know what it is and accept it, said P.J. Dixon, who uses bitcoins whenever they are accepted, has invested in the virtual money, and has a business, Bitcoin Consulting, to help set up retail businesses to use bitcoins.
One of those businesses is Cartel Coffee Lab in downtown Tucson.
At this point, the coffee shop/restaurant has one or two transactions a day with bitcoins, but Jason Silberschlag, founder of the Tempe-based Cartel, sees a future in the cryptocurrency, which allows him to cut out the fees banks and credit-card companies charge.
For me to see any benefit, I think itll take five years, he said.
