Fix PDF Security Holes Without Updating to iOS 4.0.2/3.2.2

Uncategorized, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

iOS 4.0.2 for iPhone/iPod touch and iOS 3.2.2 for iPad was released yesterday, fixing the security hole that @comex exploited in order to revive JailbreakMe.com. However, for whatever the reason may be, iPhone neglected to release the new firmware for the iPhone 2G and iPod touch 1G. If you’re an owner of either of those two devices, you can easily patch the security hole with Saurik‘s (creator of Cydia) new patch via Cydia (you must be jailbroken). You can also install this patch on all other iDevices (and on all other firmwares from 2.x on up) if you choose not to update to the new firmware and lose your jailbreak.

To install Saurik’s patch, open Cydia and search for the package named ‘PDF Patch’.

Apple Releases iOS 4.0.2 for iPhone/iPod touch and iOS 3.2.2 for iPad

All this fixes is the PDF Exploit and nothing else. So if you require a jailbreak or unlock do not upgrade. I read the terms and that is all that is in the new update. It is available for All iDevices.

It might have taken some time, but Apple just got around to finally pushing out a new version of iOS that fixes the recently revealed exploit that allowed the jailbreakme.com jailbreak.

That’s all it really does, so there isn’t much to be excited about. It comes in two flavors: 4.0.2 for the iPhone and 3.2.2 for the iPad. Should you install it? Well, it’s hard to say. On one hand, it will kill your ability to jailbreak, at least for the time being. Which is unfortunate. On the other hand, it fixes an important security hole that could be exploited by some hackers to do who-knows-what to your iDevice. The decision is yours.
