Those looking to jailbreak their iOS devices should not update to today's release of iOS 5.0.1.
Earlier this week pod2g reported that a code signing bug found in iOS 5.0 will make it significantly easier for hackers to develop a full jailbreak for that firmware version. That bug has likely been closed in iOS 5.0.1.
Also, MuscleNerd has warned iOS users that there is no downgrade path from iOS 5.0.1 to iOS 5.0 yet. He also recommends that users wait until one is available before they update.
Jailbreakers and unlockers should avoid today's 5.0.1 until a flow for downgrading to 5.0 is developed.
Downgrade flow needs to be modified for AP "nonce" http://is.gd/b3G0io ... saved SHSH blobs are not enough to downgrade to 5.0
We'll keep you up to date on the latest developments...
