Users have flocked to Twitter as well as Apple support forums voicing their concerns and frustrations as quite a few users have tried updating their iOS 7 devices while on the move and once bricked, their iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch requires a connection to iTunes to restart."

    Apple released iOS 7.0.6 to patch a vulnerability which, if unpatched, could allow attackers to capture or modify data in sessions protected by SSL/TLS

    There is nothing wrong with the patch. Apple claimed that it prevents attackers from capturing or modifying data in SSL/TLS sessions. Does the patch do that? YES! (The fact that the whole device is unusable is just a minor detail that was not mentioned in the design requirements.)
