When is Apple fixing the Heartbleed TLS vulnerability?

Its concerning that I don't see evidence of Apple's action in response to being informed of the Heartbleed TLS vulnerability.
It allows external access to SSL keys, passwords, accounts, and etc in memory.
I'm hoping Apple has been secretly rushing a patch and that I will see it today or tomorrow.
Does anyone have information on Apple progress?
Thanks,
Rich
PS. There should be a security category.

No worries. Its clear. All input was very helpful.
Apple has no fix expected.
Apple is secure as always.
It is one of the many reasons I use Apple laptops for development.
(Though I wish my MacBook Pro had way more RAM like 64GB or 128GB).
Apple is missing an opportunity, though.
This situation is actually a perfect time for Apple to brag about its security, by identifying that Heartbleed does not affect normal Apple users, unless the access a vulnerable site. And that developers are only at risk if the open source projects pull in OpenSSL 1.0.1 or 1.0.2beta. Easy to do and great for Apple's reputation.
Consumers would hear "Apple good" and "World scary".
Like any dangerous event, the Heartbleed alarm in the various communities is a little bit like yelling fire in the theater and management's response after.
People have to be sure the alarm is false or does not affect them.
If management speaks up, the problem is over.
If management does not, then all the individuals run around avoiding the problem or assessing the problem for themselves. The latter is less efficient and more stressful.
I spent serveral hours figuring out where I had to look to determine the scope and risk.
All of the answers above, were very helpfull and reduced the scope of my effort.
Thanks for all the input.
There was no formal statement from Apple clarifying the issue. (At least none I could find)
In fact some of today's security announcements (3pm 4/8/14) had complained that Apple
had not responded to emails.
Apple is not responsible for responding to all emails.
And not all posts, even on stack overflow, are accurate.
But in certain scenarios, a communication event is beneficial.
It woud have saved me hours, this community thread, the time of all who contributed here, and the time of all who read here.
BTW: Mcafee scans sites and can assess risk while you are browsing, but the local virus detection is not as good as others.
BTW: Has anyone checked this site for the SSL version? (joke)
Cheers!

  • When will Apple fix the "Show my caller ID" glitch that effects service reception? IOS7 has done nothing if not made it worse

    I have downloaded IOS7 specifically to try and solve this annoying glitch that disables the "Show my caller ID" and effects my service reception, I know it effects it as when I have no service I can guarantee that the "show my caller ID" selection is disabled, when I turn it on miraculously I have service once again.
    Such a stupid little problem that surely is easily rectified.
    When will Apple fix this????

    Thanks for that but unfortunately been there, got the T-shirt, they replaced the phone with a new one, and still happens. I believe from what I have read, it's a software glitch that quite a few people have had problems with.

  • When does Apple fix the irritating slow Mavericks?

    When is Apple going to fix the irritating slow Mavericks?
    Once you update to that awful OS it is not easy to go back to 10.6. something.
    With Mavericks it feels like i am bcak to a Windows computer! I have spent several days implementing all kind of solutions that are to be found on the internet but nothing really works. Nowadays i start my conputer and am going to do something else for about 10 minutes and hope that it has finally started up. It is about time Apple issues an update that fixes this!!!!!!

    It's possible that you have some non-Mavericks compatible software installed that could be causing your problems. You could download and run the free EtreCheck and post the contents of its report here - it may help to resolve your problem as there is some software 'out there' that is known to cause problems: http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck

  • When will Apple fix the Sonos compatibility issue?

    How soon should we expect Apple to work with Sonos to fix the compatibililty issue with Lion?  I am a Sonos fan for the same reason I am a Apple fan, their stuff works and is simple.  I would like to upgrade to Lion but read that the Lion release does "not support sharing drives formatted as FAT32" which apparently Sonos uses.  Does this sound like a simple fix or a long term problem?

    Appreciate the direction to check with Sonos.  I looked again at their website and Sonos asserts they believed they had a working software update that would work with Lion during their testing, and while they had a few bugs they were working through prior to the Lion launch, the one issue they have yet to find a work around for is Lion's inability to share music files.  Is there an underlying technology reason that would cause Apple to block access to music files? 
    I am fearful that I will be caught in the middle and have to choose between upgrading to Lion or abandoning my Sonos equipment.  I hope this doesn't become an issue like the Adobe Flash vs Apple issue.  I imagine most Sonos equipment owners did not purchase with plans of buying replacement gear every 4 to 6 years, unlike the mindset when purchasing computers where we expect to have to replace in 6 years or less.
    Hoping for responses that may help Sonos equipment owners to gain insight into the underlying cause of the problem, and whether we should expect a SIMPLE solution soon. 
    Thanks in advance to the many Apple experts for responses.

  • When will apple fix the icloud photostreaming?

    1) I want to be able to delete individual files. Why wouldn't they allow pictures from the cloud to be deleted?
    2) I want to be able to reset my photostreaming, currently iCloud services are busted, since Apple failed to plan to have enough servers for their new iPhone release.  When is Apple going to fix the iCloud issue?  
    Here's the problem that I am currently having.

  • When will Apple fix the iTunes update msvcr80.dll issue?

    Just for the records, my Windows iTunes has become unusable, too. The buggy update 11.4.1 ist still offered to my other windows installations. At least, it should be immediately pulled back.
    When will Apple deliever an automated bugfix to this update-mess? I do not intend to de-install and reinstall all my Apple-programs on my Windows machine (in fact, I don't use iTunes on Windows  anymore, my Macs run flawless and there I have the actual database). Apple: you broke it. You fix it.
    So far, no official Apple statement to this problem?  (Monday, 27.1. 2014 10:15 MET)

    Search the forums for similar issues and I feel quite certain you will find a resolution.

    These are user to user support forums.  There is no logical reason to expect a response from Apple here.  Frankly Apple rarely releases statements, only software updates.

  • When will apple fix the bending problem with iPhone 6 and 6 ?

    Does anybody know when new batches of the iphone 6 and 6 plus ,without the bending problem (bendgate), will be released ? I wanted to buy the iphone 6 but id rather wait till they fix the bending problem.

    I would like to calmly and rationally talk for a moment. On the internet and with people so invested in a company's products that can be hard to do. I find it very irritating reading people saying it is a hoax while I'm sitting here with a bent plus myself. First off, most people don't take major mainstream news companies seriously anymore. So CNNMoney isn't where anyone needs to be researching. However there are multiple other people who demonstrate this problem. So check YouTube and remember you'll find what you search for. So, if you search for iPhone 6 plus doesn't bend you'll find videos of people trying to prove it doesn't bend. It is getting ridiculous, XBOX VS PLAYSTATION, Creationists vs Evolutionists, iPhone vs Android. Seriously, I have a friend with an HTC One M8 and another friend who just got the regular iPhone 6. I told the guys about the reasoning behind the bend. "All aluminum bodied phones do it" my iPhone friends says yep that's true and my HTC friend comes over and asks me to bend his phone. I said no at first because i was afraid i might actually break it... He never put a case on his phone btw... He talked me into it and I couldn't bend it at my full force i barely saw it arch. After much more research I found out why that might be. THE ONE THING APPLE KEEPS PUTTING OFF. The screen on high end Android devices is Gorilla glass very hard to break and hard to bend. Maybe it is time I go back to Android. Logically they have better phones when you don't think about if its Apple or Android. Well I am sure I will get hate messages and grammer corrections and really intelligent comebacks but I don't care honestly.

    Prove you have a bent Plus.  Post a picture, but be advised, I work for a technology company and if you post a picture of a bent phone that can be easily found through Google, I'll report you.

  • When will apple fix the bluetooth problem

    Bluetooth Device Detection worked fine until the Ios 5 updates, now no-one seems to be able to detect devices... 
    i have also noticed now and then I have to restart my phone to connect to my wireless lan when I come into the house, whihc never hapened until these updates.
    No infromation I have seen when a fix will be coming out or even recogntion that the updates messed things up...
    Nice support Apple for all your loyal customers...

    what on earth are you talking about?
    Neither I nor anyone I know has had problems with bluetooth since updating iPhones to iOS 5.
    I would wager in your case that it's user error.  Replace User and problem will be solved.

  • When will Apple fix the 10.5 update? I'm droid shopping today.

    This update is awful! I've waisted several hours trying to get my phone and ipod and ipad working. Apple has 2 days before I'm done with them all forever.

    Actually, you did.
    Apple needs to fix the **** they created, or they're going to lose a valuable customer, of course in today's market, those don't seem to be important.
    You already stated you were droid shopping today.
    How'd that go for you?
    Not being sarcstic but if the iPhone does not do what you want, get something that does. Why beat your head against a wall?

  • When will Apple fix the itunes error that insists the computer is not authorized when it is.

    I know lots of people post solution to this, usually trashing the device and starting with a fresh AID but that is not an acceptable solution.
    APPLE if you are listening, we do not want to have to start from scratch after updating itunes!
    I guess the problem might be linked to the fact that 4 different members of the family use itunes for their device but I am sure this is not unusual.
    It is unacceptable for the software to screw up like this, it seems to completely lose track of which ID is used for which device and now will not sync, saying
    And when I go through authorization again

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple. If you think that there is a bug then use the feedback page to report it to Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
    The account that was used to purchase 'CBi' is authorised, as is any other account that has content in that iTunes library and/or on the devices that are synced to it ?
    If you being repeatedly asked to authorise an account : iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases

  • When will Apple fix the bug that won't allow us to remove iTunes U files from iPods?

    The title says it all.
    I'm stuck with iTunes U files on my Gen 4 iPod Nano that I can't get off. Automatically syncing is not an option as my 75GB of music won't fit on my 16GB Nano.
    Apple, it's been over a year! Come on, you're upsetting your customer base! 

    Create a playlist with the content that you want on the device, small enough to fit, restore the device and sync with just that playlist.

  • HT1338 When will Apple fix the sound sync problem in PhotoBooth video?

    Suggestions online are
    (1) reboot with cmd/opt/p/r  This is not a solution but a temporary fix, a sign that Mountain Lion is not working well!
    (2) reset the sound config in Audio settings.  This works briefly, again a temporary fix.
    Isn't it time that Mountain Lion was working?

    so that means.. from itunes..or not from itunes?
    sounds like 3rd party music then..
    SO i would delete them from the itunes library and re add them to the itunes library.
    TO test this out you should delete ONE SONG or ONE ALBUM and test that ONE SONG or ONE ALBUM only to see if they sync to the device..
    are you using a windows or mac? Updated itunes?
    need details on the Configuration...

  • When will apple fix the 10.9.2 crash issue??

    10.9.2 keeps crashing...Finder, Mail, Safari....How about fixing it?

    Performed any maintenance lately? Hopefully you have backed up all your important data just in case.
    Since the Finder, Mail, and Safari are crashing, that's an indication the startup disk may need repairing.
    Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
    Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
    Click:  Verify Disk  (not Verify Disk Permissions)
    If DU reports errors, restart your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you can access the built-in utilities to repair the disk using  OS X Recovery
