New 10.3.3 exploit discovered!

[Ericbe59]

Project 0 at Google just recently released an exploit which they discovered allowing kernel execution via the firmware of the PCIe WiFi chip in iPhones 6 and higher.

This is capable of supplying a 10.3.3 and below jaibreak. - Apparently, even without ziVA or other recent exploits released. It is said to even allow for an untethered jaibreak, but not without much greater difficulty in assembling it.

I can only hope. Thoughts? Comments?

Thoughts? Comments?

Damn is my thought.

I'm happy they found something of course and if it can ultimately be turned into a jailbreak that'd be awesome.

But the only device I have sitting on iOS 10 (10.3.1) is a 32-bit iPhone 5. So, unless they manage to migrate this exploit down to that it's not going to do my 5 any good.

Great for all those on the 6/6s/7 series though that have been waiting.

I have a 7+ on 10.3.2 just waiting for this to happen. To be honest, the link to it is way over my head

It's a shame that the news comes after Apple has stopped signing the firmware.

Yes, that seems to be the case the past few years.
Before the JB's would come out for the latest ios version signed.

Because project 0 only releases it's exploits 90 days after warning apple about them.
