A jailbreak for the Apple TV and tvOS has reportedly been completed and will soon be released for download.
Jonathan Levin, CTO of Technologeeks, announced the news on Twitter:
"Took buying another 10.1 TV to make up for one I foolishly botched, but the #TvOS #Jailbreak is finally done! Details, download coming soon."
Alongside the tweet Levin posted a screenshot of procexp running on the Apple TV.
It's likely that the jailbreak will support Apple TV devices running tvOS 10.1 using the CVE-2017-2370 kernel vulnerability that allows an application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
We'll let you know as soon as more details become available. Please follow iClarified on Twitter, Facebook, or RSS for updates.
