CyanogenMod Team Releases new Android KitKat CM11 M12 Series Custom ROM; Brings Security Patch for Poodle Vulnerability Issue

"Taking a breather from all the work on L (aka Lollipop), we snuck in another M release yesterday against the CM 11.0 (KitKat) branch. This release is less heavy on features, instead focusing on stability for various device trees and security fixes," said the company on the official blog.
The new CM11 M12 series is said to fix the last month's POODLE vulnerability found in SSL (Secure Socket Layer) v3 protocol of most Internet browsers.
