"This kind of flaw makes the Target fiasco look like a minor spat in a kiddie sandbox: the effects of a TSL/SSL compromise in Apple iOS and OS X are worldwide and could be devastating if exploited properly by opportunistic hackers.

The iOS flaw has been patched and if I understand it correctly it's a "man in the middle" attack vulnerability, which would affect mostly iOS devices.
