Jailbreaking is now legal, but that doesn’t mean Apple won’t keep trying to patch exploits that the jailbreak hackers are using. There will always be a cat and mouse game. The newest JailbreakMe exploit uses a PDF font bug in order to execute remote code on to it. While jailbreakers may think of this as convenient, they also need to realize that this is dangerous and Apple must patch this exploit in order to prevent hackers from sending iPhone viruses or other malicious code to iPhone or iPad users.

The JailbreakME exploit presents a serious vulnerability, and it must be patched. There is no doubt about it that Apple will be patching it in their next iOS 4.1 update, and a tipster from Apple named “Alpha” has just told us Apple will patch the exploit in the final iOS 4.1 release. If you haven’t already, you can go to the JailbreakME page for instructions on how to jailbreak. Enjoy it while it lasts; jailbreaking cannot get easier than this! Bookmark our jailbreak iOS 4.1 page, come back to it once the new iOS 4.1 update is out, and we will update that once a new jailbreak for iOS 4.1 is out as well.
