Apple: Patch your devices now, we have fixed the 'GoToFail' issue

Apple has released a new update for OS X that should patch the massive security vulnerability now infamously known as 'GoToFail.'
The company had released a patch for iOS, version 7.0.6 to fix the exploit, but millions of OS X users were also at risk.

OS X Mavericks and Mountain Lion are confirmed for the fix, and version 10.9.2 for Mavericks will also include improvements for Mail, Safari and more including the addition of FaceTime audio calls.

Apple recommends getting the update as soon as humanely possible.
