First off, I mis-interpreted what you meant.  You're correct that 
optimizers will change code - but NEVER change the SOURCE code (file). 
They may produce warnings too, of course depending on pragmas.

In the case at hand, however, the optimizer would not want to change the 
code that caused the bug.  But it would have eliminated the subsequent 
tests down to the label "fail" resulting in functionally equivalent code.

Not if evaluating the expressions for the IF statements have
side-effects. Optimizing those away would change the state of the
program.

And that is why optimizing compilers are very good at examining if there
are side effects which cannot be optimized away. (for instance, if the
if statement calls a subroutine and evaluates its return value, it can't
be optimized away since the compiler won't know what the subroutine does.)

The first two conditions can not be optimized away because they 
influence the return value.  The code after the extra goto must be 
removed, and that should have generated a warning.

it does. someone i know compiled an equivalent test app and xcode issue
a warning, which means the warning must have been ignored (or the
compiler was set to skip that check which is equally bad).

Equivalent test?  Any idiot (even you) could have grabbed the actual module

http://opensource.apple.com/source/Security/Security-55471/libsecurity_ssl/lib/sslKeyExchange.c

and ran a real test.  The unfixed version is still there, by the way.

As I suspected. Don't expect mr.know-it-all to admit he's wrong though.
It simply will not happen.

there's nothing to admit since nothing is wrong. xcode catches the
error. this is a *fact*, despite your claims to the contrary and anyone
who says otherwise is lying.

obviously, it's possible to have warnings off, which is why i
specifically mentioned that possibility.

the fact you intentionally ignored what i wrote shows just how much of
a lying troll you really are.

if apple is building code with warnings off, particularly security
related code, then that's a sign of a much bigger and more serious
problem.

and even if that code did somehow manage to slip through somehow, it
should have been caught in a code review and/or testing, which they
apparently did not do either.

Even good old fashioned non-optimising COBOL would have caught this
error, flagging everything after the offending goto as "unreachable code".

http://9to5mac.com/ has a writeup on it (quoting Crowdstrike).  May not 
be deep enough for you.

The key thing is the exploit is on the near side of your router firewall 
so unless you think junior is attacking from the basement I don't think 
there's much to worry about.  (I'll assume you're using WPA2 with a 
non-trivial shared secret, or better).

The risk may be if the user is in a public place like a coffee shop and 
is spoofed into connecting to a rogue wireless network.  Like that's 
common.  There was some really sensationalized stuff on the local TV 
stations a couple of months ago where someone built a small mobile 
hotspot that he was able to demonstrate the ability to get private 
information from computer users.  In that case he was usually the man in 
the middle exploiting web sites with improper security (web sites that 
are nominally secure but would allow passwords and user names to be sent 
in the clear), but something could be done that way going in the other 
direction.  Not terribly likely, however.

Agreed.  Most esp. the last 4 words.

[1] Even on a public network, others will only see your public folder. 
Sure, you might have data private to your family there and expect that 
only they will see it.  Your fault for having it there on a portable 
computer.

Note that the quoted text doesn’t include the word ‘only’; it is
describing only one possible mechanism.

To exploit the bug the attacker needs to be able to redirect your
communication to and from the real SSL/TLS server to their substitute.
There are a number of ways to achieve this, including access to the
target network itself, access to intermediate routers, access to a
border router, ability to influence DNS responses, etc.  ‘Access’ in
each case need not be legitimate, of course.

The word "only" is not required to keep that sentence restrained to the 
case described.  And logically, to be MitM, one has to be "inside" the 
router/WiFi firewall.

In that light, a more public attack is well described by Tim McNamara.

MITM refers to an attacker capable of reading, deleting, modifying and
synthesizing messages between legitimate actors.  See, for instance,
s3.1 of Applied Cryptography for more detail.  It is not limited to any
particular network configuration.

Fair enough.  OTOH It's pretty clear in this case that the MitM has to 
within your network.

I'll be delighted to be proven wrong, however, so please dig that up.
