Apple Closes Exploit Used By Developers to Root iDevices Since 2010

Posted June 13, 2012 at 3:43pm by iClarified
Apple has closed an exploit which was found by comex in 2010 and used by developers to root their iDevices, reports pod2g.

R.I.P. the exploit used by developers to root the device. Found by @comex in 2010. A 2 years old bug closed with iOS 6.

For those wondering this kernel bug was unusable for a general release jailbreak because it required an iOS Developer account.

Ummm y'all can't read "a two year exploit closed by iOS 6" so means ummm when iOS 6 is out it will be closed and he can't ride COMEX coattail no more!

He's simply saying that a single exploit has been closed, and that was never commerically used, since it required a developers account. It had been used previously to give crackers a peak inside the inner workings of the device--effectively a pre-jailbreak jailbreak. This will hardly STOP jailbreaking. In fact, I wish Apple would stop constantly trying to shut down the jailbreak community. Everyone knows that Apple doesn't approve, and will refuse to work on a broken jailroken device, so just quit harping on it and allow a single opening so they don't continue to search out new weaknesses in each and every new release. Surely that would save everyone a lot of time and effort.
