As you know, Jailbreakme.com, (the service that allows an easy way to jailbreak your iPhone just by visiting the site with Mobile Safari browser), exploits a security hole within Safari when dealing with PDF file. Apple just sent out the patch in the iOS 4.0.2 to fix that particular security hole.
When you hook-up your iPhone or iPod touch to iTunes, you will be asked to upgrade and you might want to do it, since the venerability has been known, malicious hacker can take control over your device anytime..
iOS 3.2.2 has been released for iPad too!
No matter what they do to a phone to protect it from jailbreak. There’s always someone smart enough to do it. I work at a company who do this before and from what i know most of the device are coming from Chech Republic. They even know how to change the program inside the phone firmware to make it work.
Following up on their promise to quickly plug the gaping hole in MobileSafari that allowed a PDF exploit to jailbreak your iPhone using the JailbreakMe website, Apple has just released iOS 4.0.2 for the iPhone, and 3.2.2 for the iPad. There don’t seem to be any other changes other than plugging that hole, and remember, if you are already jailbroken and want to stay that way, hold off on updating. To anyone else, go for it—the update awaits.
