Apple iOS Jailbreak Follows Security Update2010-11-24 09:38 by DanielaTags: Apple, iOS, security
The iPhone Dev-Team has released a new jailbreak for Apple's iOS operating system. The jailbreak, known as Redsn0w 0.9.6b4, was released Monday just hours after Apple released an update for iOS. Right now, the jailbreak is tethered on all recent devices, according to the Dev-Team blog. "A tethered jailbreak means that each time your device loses battery power or needs to be rebooted, you must attach it to a PC or Mac to boot into the jailbroken state," the blog notes. For those not looking for a jailbreak, the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system addresses more than 80 security flaws, including 27 affecting the WebKit browser engine. Several of the WebKit flaws could be exploited to cause arbitrary code execution, such as an invalid cast issue in WebKit's handling of CSS boxes that can be exploited if a victim visits malicious sites.
