Safari/iOS 4.3.3: not vulnerable Safari/i0S 7.0.4: VULNERABLE Chrome/iOS 7.0.4: not vulnerable

Looks like using Chrome instead of Safari may help; I'd say it would be more interesting if standard mail client can be fooled.

I would be shocked if this doesn't apply to the email client as well.

I noticed a while ago that while Safari supports TLS 1.2, but Mail does not. So somewhere in the implementation they are using different code. (Not agreeing or disagreeing, just mentioning an observation.)

This also impacts iOS 6; there's an update available.

Is it possible to get the iOS 6 update if your device supports iOS 7? iTunes only offers the 7.0.6 update.

Yes, I did it this morning. Look for the update from your phone, so it's a smaller download anyway. It takes more room than they ask for, maybe 750 meg. I just temporarily deleted some podcasts to make room.
