Beta might be release on weekly cycle now... Expect 14.5 by end of this month I guess.

Expect 14.5 on March 23rd, the same day as the spring Apple event.

Looks like another jailbreak vulnerability got patched!
14.3 is already jail breakable

Yup! Potentially 14.5 RC next week, with full release by month's end.

Does anyone know if this security fix (Webkit, apparently?) is in 14.5 beta 3? This is serious enough that I want it fixed ASAP.

Could you give me some more info on this security issue? Could simply visiting a website be enough to get infected?

Most likely not. Fixes like this seem to go to production first, then they get rolled into the next beta release.

Patches CVE-2021-1844, but looks like most details about it are still reserved.

 

[upandown]

iPhone 12 raised blacks fixed by any chance? (It was not fixed for everyone in 14.5 beta, before anyone wants to tell me again it fixed it for them)

 

[I7guy]

Jailbreak patched?

 

[gotluck]

Jailbreak patched?

14.4 patched unc0ver. This webkit exploit seems new

 

[sapbasis]

Only 136MB on iPad Pro 2020

 

[Nukemkb]

Only 136MB on iPad Pro 2020

125MB on iPad Air 3

Patches CVE-2021-1844, but looks like most details about it are still reserved.

Feels like this must be fixing a major security flaw that is easy to exploit given the lack of details.

fast download and smooth installation on my 2020 ipad pro 11"

 

[Moccasin]

My Magic Keyboard on my 2020 iPad Pro wasn’t working after this installed. Restarting the iPad seemed to fix it.

 

[SactoGuy18]

Should be a pretty small file to download on my iPhone 12 and iPad Pro 10.5".

 

[BruiserB]

My Magic Keyboard on my 2020 iPad Pro wasn’t working after this installed. Restarting the iPad seemed to fix it.

Probably why they’re on sale on Amazon now! ;-)
