Release notes
Editorial synthesis with inline references and a source ledger when citations are available.
iOS 7.0.6 was a security-specific update for SSL connection verification rather than a feature release.[1][2]
Apple’s advisory explains that Secure Transport had omitted validation steps, allowing a suitably positioned network attacker to capture or alter data in protected sessions; the update restored those checks.[3]
