Security FixBut this is not what this update is really about.
It was discovered last week, with the release of iOS 7.0.6 and 6.1.6, that iOS and OS X both are plagued with a very critical SSL flaw that allows sniffers to intercept incoming and outgoing connections from an iOS or OS X device, provided that they’re on the same network.
Thankfully, Apple has finally patched the flaw with the release of OS X 10.9.2, and I can’t emphasize enough how important this update is.
Therefore, it is highly recommended that you go ahead and update your Mac right away to patch your computer from this major vulnerability.
