"About MacBook Pro Retina EFI Update v1.2 (5.22MB)
This update is recommended for MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, late 2013) models with NVIDIA graphics. This update addresses an issue which, in rare cases, may limit the performance of the discrete graphics processor after a system wake or boot.

System Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.9
MBP112.88Z.0138.B00.1310031144 (EFI 0138.00)"

Assume the last line is the affected EFI/bootrom version (although it's not truncated).
  

"About MacBook Pro Retina EFI Update v1.3 (4.64MB)
This update is recommended for MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, late 2013) models.
This update addresses an issue where the built-in keyboard and Multi-Touch trackpad may become unresponsive.

System Requirements:
Mac OS X 10.9
MBP111.88Z.0133.B00.1309220923 (EFI 0133.00)"

(Also added this update link to the Oct. 30th news page that had the previous Apple support notes/workaround on this problem.)
  

"About Mail Update for Mavericks
This update improves stability and compatibility with Gmail, and includes fixes for users with custom Gmail settings.

For more information on this update, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6030

System Requirements: OS X Mavericks 10.9"

That doc has more info on fixes/improvements and a reminder on backing up before updating. (BTW: Later saw this thread in Apple's Mavericks forum with a couple users saying the Nov 7th Mail update added problems - BBOD, Exchange account won't sync and one user reported Time Machine wouldn't allow a restore back to previous version. Not sure if he tried restoring when booted to Recovery partition. I'd try a Safe Boot and reinstall using the Download Updater first though.)
