goto fail;

Check if your browser is vulnerable to the Apple SSL bug

Visit goto fail;

goto fail; is a browser-based checker for the Apple SSL bug known as #gotofail. It inspects your operating system and browser version information and, when appropriate, runs an active vulnerability test by loading a test image and checking whether the browser aborts it after receiving an invalid ServerKeyExchange message.

The site reports outcomes such as safe, probably safe, warning, and vulnerable, and can force the test to run even when the version check suggests no risk. It notes that other applications on the system, including mail, chat, financial, social networking, and backup apps, may also be affected, and points to Apple updates for iOS and OS X Mavericks, an FAQ, and further SSL/TLS testing tools.

It is intended for individual users checking their own computers and browsers. JavaScript must be enabled for the check to run. The site is free to use and does not describe accounts, trials, editions, or seat-based or usage-based packaging.
