Should just update the firmware. The process usually involves a backup so you should OK. If not...back that ***** up!
Then update...

I'm kind of in the dark about how exactly you go about falling into the trap of this exploit?
Does someone send you a text and BOOM your phone is screwed?
I'm kind of ocd about updating, and i like to do a clean slate update, so i really dont feel like doing it if theres going to be another, more significant update coming fairly soon.
little help?

So you jailbroke with the 3.0 .ipsw file?
Differential updates are dangerous. They give hackers an idea where a vulnerability is and create exploits before everyone is updated.
yes i did... just updated throught itunes then jailbroke using the 3.0 .ipsw file with redsn0w
well i dont really know because i dont use it but the baseband didnt change so i think it should work !!
So if I have a jailbroken 3.0 iphone now, this update will remove that and I have to jailbreak again?
Yes
Obviously a very carefully designed text message. Probably one that any normal phone user wouldn't be able to create, because it will be in some way violating the rules how correct SMS messages should look.
If you jailbreak an iPhone does that mean you absolutely have to unlock it or can you leave it locked to the carrier? I use my 3g on rogers and that's the only real viable option around here at the moment
you can just leave it locked to the carrier by not installing ultrasn0w from cydia...

PC: "And I'm a PC."
PC: "Man, those vulnerability updates are a pain to have to deal with. You're lucky you guys don't have to deal with... oh. Never mind."

True statement!
Apple for a long time was able to ignore things because of the small market share. Apple is a big time player now and customers are going to demand and expect them to stand by those cute little commercials.
Yeah, we know Windows is a hairball, but since when did the Theory of Infinite Complexity start applying to Apple? How is fixing a complete and total bug in processing SMS messages going to break a 'ga-zillion' apps? And since when would Apple even give a damn if it broke 5% of the apps? Apple is all about screwing yesterday, long live tomorrow. "If your app is broke by our latest update, then you better get to work!"
Face it: The fix was easy, and it was delayed until the bad press started because Apple hoped to just slide into 3.1 with it. (But what about those 1.x and 2.x phones?? HUH?) What's the excuse for them?
