Jonathan Levin, author of MacOS and iOS Internals, reveals that a jailbreak of iOS 10.3.2 is possible thanks to a libxpc vulnerability discovered by Ian Beer of Google Project Zero.

Patched in iOS 10.3.3 the libxpc vulnerability allows an application to execute arbitrary code with system privileges. Apple says the memory corruption issue was addressed with improved memory handling.

In a tweet minutes ago, Levin said the security flaw can be adapted into a dev jailbreak and recommends users downgrade to iOS 10.3.2 while they can.

If you're at #iOS 10.3.3, downgrade to 10.3.2 while you can:Ian Beer's awesome CVE-2017-7047 bit unstable,can be adapted to a dev #jailbreak

No word on whether Levin plans to release this jailbreak but if you're eagerly awaiting a jailbreak, you may want to take his advice. CVE-2017-7047 affects the iPhone 5 and later, iPad 4th generation and later, and iPod touch 6th generation.
