How soon will Apple block JailbreakMe?
by Aayush
The easiest jailbreak available for the Apple iPhone 4, JailbreakMe is only a guest for few days and will very soon be blocked by Apple as JailbreakMe manages to jailbreak most iOS devices from within the iPhone just by visiting http://jailbreakme.com on their mobile Safari.
JailbreakMe uses a PDF engine hole in the Safari browser of the iDevice which gives it access to the firmware and install a jailbreak patch. This security flaw in Apple software is so serious that the German Government issued a warning to Apple fans advising them not to open any PDF files on their iDevices.
Apple acknowledges the issue and said they have already prepared a fix for the security hole, which will be released in the next firmware update and the hole will be fixed. For JailbreakMe this means there application is going to be out of use very soon.
Apple Spokesman:
“We’re aware of this reported issue, we have already developed a fix and it will be available to customers in an upcoming software update.”
