CyanogenMod’s Snapshot, or M build, is the main version of the current ROM for users (KitKat). Coming onto the update, it is the incorporation of security patches against the POODLE vulnerability in SSLv3, along with improvements for multi-SIM users. You can read more about the POODLE vulnerability on Google’s Security Blog. Here is a quote from The CyanogenMod Team:
“Users are strongly encouraged to update to the latest available build to keep in line with the latest security patches.
Multi-sim users should also see added improvements throughout the OS experience, and there has been similar polishes of improvements and features throughout the system as we look towards sunsetting CM11; CM12 looms over the horizon.”
