I know. Engadget is taking a page from Apple's book and showing how everyone else is also affected when an exploit shows up.]]>Aug 3rd 2010 3:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/jailbreakme-using-pdf-exploit-to-hack-your-iphone-so-could-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/jailbreakme-using-pdf-exploit-to-hack-your-iphone-so-could-the/Aug 3rd 2010 3:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/jailbreakme-using-pdf-exploit-to-hack-your-iphone-so-could-the/http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/03/jailbreakme-using-pdf-exploit-to-hack-your-iphone-so-could-the/

I think it'd be irony if it were anybody but Apple.

NOT Adobe. Apple. As many have said, Apple will be shown to be no better than microsoft, if not a lot worse, as their devices become more popular.

Jailbreaking isn't the problem here, the exploit used to gain enough access to the phone to jailbreak it is, because it also allows an attacker to, instead of jailbreaking your phone, do whatever else they want instead. For example, to wipe your phone and install just one program that shows you photos of dicks.

This font rendering security hole in PDF renderer was known to Apple.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4131

Apple has already patched it in OSX a few months ago, and the fix
was arriving to iOS, as part of 4.1 release. In fact, its already in the 4.1 beta releases that were made in the last few weeks.

It was simple for comex to simply look up the security patch fix list for OSX, and see one which is also present in the iOS and use it, to get it working for releases prior to 4.1, which would have had the fix. He knew it he had it, as jailbreakme.com does not support 4.1 beta.

However, what Apple should have done is to release the fix to iOS a well via 4.1 and 4.0.2, before publishing the fix on its website for the world to know.
