Last week, Apple fixed the so called #gotofail bug for iOS devices. Other devices (Macs with OS X 10.9 Mavericks, maybe earlier versions and I also suspect Apple TV to be vulnerable) will follow soon.
I thought that Old iOS devices would be in the dark as the updates are for iOS 6.x and 7.x only. So any device that can only run on iOS 5 or lower might not be supported.
So I thought these devices would be unsupported, but found out an iPad 1st generation would pass the gotofail.com test.
So if you have any of these, please let me know if they fail or pass:
- iPhone 3 or earlier,
- iPod Touch 3rd generation or earlier,
- iPad 1st generation: passes.
Please watch any security announcements carefully with using Apple equipment, as the bug can highly facilitate a man-in-the-middle attack.
