#56833 — Latest IOS/OS X SSL security flaw

FromTed Lee <tmplee@gmail.com>
Date2014-02-22 12:56 -0600
SubjectLatest IOS/OS X SSL security flaw
Message-ID<lears8$l8d$1@dont-email.me>
The press and gossip rag reports say the recently discovered security 
flaw with SSL is present in both IOS and OS X.  The patch for IOS showed 
up last night.  The reports say the OS X one will be out soon.  Has 
anyone run across a technically competent (as opposed to sensationalized 
fear-mongering amateur drivel) discussion of the flaw *and* a conclusive 
statement that it is indeed present in OS X?  Given Apple's policy of 
not discussing or acknowledging security flaws until a patch is 
available, I have to wonder if the flaw is in fact present in OS X -- 
for, if it were, wouldn't they wait to release anything (including a 
fix) about it until the patch was available for both?

it is in os x, and it's nothing more than an extra goto.

ROFL.

goto has always been a source of low software quality - and it rears its 
head again here - although it looks more like sloppy editing than 
anything else - like another line of condition code had been deleted or 
moved.

Indeed. And as John Gruber (Daring Fireball) asserted, the practice of
using curly braces for if blocks would have made the slip-up much more
obvious. I tend to prefer using braces in if blocks myself.

I tend to think curly braces suck as code block begin/ends.  ;-)

Right there with you. : ) I can appreciate shortened forms; but not so
much when they increase the likelihood of mistakes like this. Pascal had
BEGIN/END too.

Pascal is what I use now for gps/nav, photography related stuff, etc. 
(Because I have so many units of proven code to rely on).  At present I 
can't assemble my .ASM files on the mac because the assembler syntax 
(register symbol style) isn't what I used to use (MS or Borland assemblers).

OTOH, if I assemble in Fusion/windows, the .obj code is linkable under 
OS X (Lightweight IDE).  That surprised me... but the old assemblers 
can't do the newer instructions of course...

I've tried hand coding some instructions with constant declarations but 
I get trapped errors at run time - doing something wrong (I want to use 
the new i7 random number gen).  I'll just have to learn the new 
assembler syntax I guess... time.

FreePasacal is sort of a mishmash of several Pascal styles, TurboPascal 
and Delphi being dominant.  (Even supports MS-DOS file operations on the 
Mac...).

I haven't written C since the exam in 198x.  (Well maybe a couple little 
things).

Filevault2.  I guess it's much more than XORs...

Lightweight IDE and fpc work well for simple programming (and that does 
support TurboPascal units of course; linking externals (C, assembler, 
etc.)).  I do see people on lists referring to fpc under XCode but I 
find that to be tedious for the straightforward stuff I do.

I do have a project in mind that might make me write in C because I 
can't find any libraries that will compile for Pascal that give me 
direct access to devices on USB such as GPS.  If I can compile a unit in 
C and call that from Pascal, it would be ideal.

I stopped writing in Pascal in 198x when I first saw this in a C
program:

while((c=getchar())!=EOF)

And that was the death of Pascal.

Granted, my plan to write a lot of C never really developed because of
perl, perl cgis, html, and later PHP. But still...

Pascal: Assuming the header is:

	Repeat c := readkey until c = EOF;

Is much clearer than the 'clever' c code.

Your C example is one of a hundred reasons why the US DoD categorically 
rejected C when it was looking for a new standard language to be the 
last of all DoD computer languages.

(When the Ada project began, the US DoD had s/w // f/w systems in over 
2000 languages and dialects ...).

We had contractual language from US DoD and some commercial aerospace 
co's to develop only, and solely in Ada (with strict minimum of 
assembler - and if possible only in the boot CSCI).

that's no defense, the DoD loves Java and COBOL.

Not sure about Java (in any context).

Guess who invented COBOL in the first place... lot's of legacy COBOL 
code to maintain at DoD.

Ugh.  Sorry to hear that.

But in weapons, platform, navigation systems (and much more) I doubt 
there is any Java other than perhaps on non critical displays for 
visiting VIP's... (Ada is usually mandated for systems).

I tend toward "overkill unto the verge of paranoia" when bracing 
conditionals, for exactly that reason. Even though I'm quite aware that 
"if (foo) bar(foo);" is perfectly valid code that'll compile without so 
much as a hiccup, if I'm coding something that needs that sort of 
construct, I'm most likely going to write it as
if (foo)
  {
    bar(foo);
  }
else
  {
    // It's a bad idea to bar() a nil foo
  }
specifically to negate even the possibility of getting bit by that type 
of bug. Vertical space is cheap insurance :)

What? Never heard of 
#define BEGIN {
#define END }
?
 :)

Years ago, those, and other similar "translation" macros, were exactly 
how I transitioned from Pascal to C. Then one day I noticed that the C 
must have "kicked in" - I'd been using "naked" C and forgetting to 
bother setting up or #include-ing the #defines for a while without even 
realizing it.

Wouldn't even think of it in Pascal (or Ada, or...)

         if foo then bar(foo);    // proc call; foo can be changed
                                  // if declared VAR in parameters.

(or)    if foo then foo := bar(foo); // function call

Much more readable too.



Trouble happens in Pascal with:  ( I assume C is the same ...)

	if bar(foo) or booz(goo) then ...

If bar returns true then booz is not called (default).  This can be 
important if booz is maintaining some program state and was supposed to 
be called at that point.  pragmas can be used to force both expressions 
to execute even if bar(foo) returned true.  I prefer to code it so there 
is no ambiguity in execution - or to the future code reader.

	f := bar(foo);    foo := f; {optional or later}
	g := booz(goo);   goo := g; {   "          "  }

	if f or g then ...

That assures that both functions get called.  Is readable.  Does not 
depend on pragmas or a future programmer understanding/seeing that the 
compiler is in default or full expression mode.

That would be one man's opinion. Personally, I find "one line 
conditionals" less explicitly clear than the multi-line equivalent.

No, a simple way to get the "BEGIN" and "END" that some prefer.

(Although yes, I do agree that it's rather pointless once one is fluent 
in the language)

Pascal doesn't care how many lines you use to achieve the desired style.

But for your case above, the unnecessary "else" and other blank fodder 
really doesn't add to readabilty, IMO.  Of course in C everything helps.

I personally like single lines for non-else'd cases with a simple 
(single) action as above.  Otherwise

         if bar(foo) then
                       begin
                         brat (tat);
                         stat (a,v)
                       end
                        else
                           faggetaboutit("I object!");

But you can establish any style you're comfortable with.

I did figure that out.

Is how I would space that. However, that else is something I
particularly dislike. That, to me, is terrible obtuse code.

  if bar(foo) {
    brat(tat);
    stat(a,v);
  } else {
    faggetaboutit("I object!");
  }

That is much clearer and more concise that the code above.

I don't like putting {'s on empty lines for no reason, but the last
close bracket matches up the else and if showing the block has ended.

That said, I can't stand writing in python because of its reliance of
using white space for block control. That seems like the stupidest idea
any language designer ever had.
