http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6114 says at the bottom "For detailed information about the security content of this update, see Apple security updates.[1]" [1] http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222

It's not there yet: Apple usually posts that information a few hours _after_ the update has been released.

If anyone from Apple is reading and can influence this - could you convince whomever needs to be convinced that you ought to have less vague/shitty release notes, particularly wrt issues like this?

They cover security issues in a separate announcement (listed on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222), but only a few hours after the update has been released. I do think high-impact security issues like this SSL bug deserve a mention in the release notes as well.

I'm confused -- the osx dev center doesn't have 10.9.2 at all (any build), only the original October 10.9 release. I guess that happens whenever they push a new release?

Developer preview builds are now pushed out the Mac App Store.

See the Dev center for the instructions to set it up.

Hope it also fixes the "issue" where my 2013 Macbook Pro reboots when it wakes up from sleep if there's a USB drive attached.

Mine grey screens when I have my usb hub plugged in at startup (doesn't get to partition selection).

Android file transfer utility stops the keyboard and touchpad from working.

I've got a similar USB issue. I have a SATA HDD in an External USB 3.0 enclosure. When my 2011 iMac wakes from sleep, it needs to wait for the external drive to spin up. Major PITA.
