The iPhone Dev-Team has announced the release of a PDF Patch to fix the iOS vulnerability used by comex's jailbreak.

On Wednesday, Apple (finally) released firmware 4.0.2, which patches the very large security holes exploited by @comex in the 2nd incarnation of jailbreakme.com. The only problem is they outright abandoned iPhone2G and iPod Touch 1G users! Even though Apple acknowledges in their security update the severity of these holes, they left iPhone2G and ipt1G owners high and dry — completely vulnerable to truly malicious variants of jailbreakme (these variants aren’t out yet, but they’re sure to come!).

Luckily for Apple, the Jailbreak community isn’t so callous. @saurik has been burning the midnight oil coding a Cydia package that will fix the holes for all devices and all firmware versions (even going back to version 2.x!).

You can download and install PDF Patch from Cydia now.

Just uninstall ultrasn0w and then reinstall, that should fix it.

Firstly you were warned not to update to 4.0.2...if u have done that why wud u intall this from cydia??? if u r still on 4.01 you can anyday rejailbreak after a restore bcos 4.01 stock will still have the flaw. dont just scream without doing a homework....the community is only helping you for NOTHING unlike apple which took ur money and left u in the dark!

The PDF WARNING will warn you when it is loading PDF Files, so websites wont just load them up secretly, but if you select continue, it will harm your phone, the patch will actually load the website but will not do any harm to your phone.

Ricardo - August 12, 2010 at 11:50am

OHHH OK I SEE SO WITH THIS FIX U CAN UNINSTALL THE OTHER PDF WARM BECAUSE THIS ONE WOULDN'T LET ANYTHING SCREW YOUR PHONE?
