Correct, I am speaking of the browser. While it is not the primary function of the Kindle the browser has been included for years and I have found it useful on occasion when I am without a better means of web browsing. In fact I would guess that the same SSL software is being used for book downloading as the browser is using as it would make no sense to duplicate software. This implies that an SSL flaw revealed in the browser might be possible to exploit elsewhere as well.
As noted in my post, I can't confirm if this is fixed yet as I am not going to upgrade until it can be reversed in a worst case situation. Can you confirm the state of this for me?

PS: in fact I just tried with curl on my K3 and have attached the results. It seems that the SSL there is even worse than in the browser. See attached.
