Listening to AllAboutAndroid and I have a Heartbleed question: Why is only Jellybean 4.1.1 vulnerable and not 4.1.2? 

 

(I am seeing conflicting accounts online as to whether 4.1.2 is vulnerable or not).

 

If 4.1.2 is not vulnerable, what did Google change in Android to make 4.1.2 (and all versions to follow) not vulnerable? 

 

To ask another question, did Google know about the vulnerability back in 2012 and fix it or was it just an innocuous and innocent unrelated update that fixed it?

I'm not a developer so code is not my thing. Wikipedia list the only changes between 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 as:

 

- Lock/home screen rotation support for the Nexus 7[98]

- One-finger gestures to expand/collapse notifications[99]

- Bug fixes and performance enhancements

 

No documentation/citation on the "Bug fixes and performance enhancements."
