Simone Ferrini, a former iOS and firmware developer, demonstrated the accomplishment in a video posted to Twitter on Friday.

Read/write access to the kernel is fundamental to a jailbreak, although there are several other components needed. It's also uncertain that the exploit will still work in the final release of iOS 12.
