iOS 5.1 Safari jailbreak

[moonman239]

Just wondering if any of the security loopholes discovered in iOS 5.1 (and patched in 5.1.1) could be used to jailbreak a device.

Maybe, just maybe, the developers would spend less time trying to jailbreak each device if they waited for Apple to release a security update, because with each security update Apple tells interested people what loopholes they found and fixed.

I do know people will have to wait longer. I'd say that's why the developers start working on developing a jailbreak for a new firmware.

From Apple's Website:
