Yes...
And load a rogue dialler programmed to run up a tenner's worth of "random" premium rate calls each month...
And load a text duplicator to the number of his choice...
Actually, the limits are only those of the hacker's imagination and ability.
It's a FreeType vulerability. We have the code, just compile it, and then ssh it into the old school iPhone, right?
Apparently done.
There's a discussion at Redhat talking about using Apple's fix.

Depends on your definition of "works".Kickers. Jailbreakme.com no longer works. What a surprise
It still works... just not for 4.02.
I take back my earlier statement.. I know this release doesn't mention the fix for the proximity issue, but mine has "magically" disappeared after updating! I have made 4 calls of about 15 minutes each or so and have not had the first problem for the first time since I bought it! Not sure what is changed, but so far it is working for me!
All is right in my "i" world!

My definition of "works" for this specific subject is: "works safer", which of course cannot be said about the previous iOS versionsDepends on your definition of "works".

I have a couple of questions here, I want to Jailbrake my G3S, so I wont do this update...but:
1.- Some people think that jailbrake it with the jailbrake.com method is asking for trouble, is it true? How many of you have used that method and everything seems working fine?
2.- If I realize that Jailbraking my iPhone was not a good idea, can I have it back to the standard iOS?
Thank you so much,

Thank you so much,
@scwinsett yes it has always done that. If you need it gone reset all settings will get rid of it.
I don't mind keeping it, as customization was my only reason for jailbreaking, but the Jailbreakme version was horrible and glitchy.
Yeah that gets saved in your backup. I assume you restored from one?
I got this stuck on mine non-jailbroken
I got this
stuck on mine non-jailbrokenYea, it's just strange that the carrier logo would be stored as a setting and not just assigned based on the information when the phone is activated
Hm. I can't remember seeing "Line" on my About screen, but now it is.
p.s. I have an Apple unlocked iPhone.

If you backed up post jailbreak and had a modified carrier name it will carry over if you restore fromthat back up
Is this happening to anyone else?
I am sure you didn't mean it but this comes across like the biggest Apple apologist statement I have seen in a long time LOL
LOL, it totally seems that way now that you mention it. Obviously, this exploit is not cool.
Regardless of the exploit, I like the fact that iOS is reinstalled each update. I do clean installs of all OSes every six months to replace the patches with cumulative updates just for better performance. There are several benefits to doing so.
jailbreak is no longer illegal. it was pass in congress. so now anybody can jailbreak their iphone whatsoever. I don't understand why Apple took action like this. it will be trouble if anybody will argue with it near the future. then what Apple has done today would be illegal. they don't have a right to force something ban because they don't want. sometimes, they have to follow even though they don't agree. I'm done with Apple.
Patching security holes is not illegal....Apple does not have to provide exploits for jailbreaking even if jailbreaking is legal
Some people need to get their facts straight
