There is a patch available to download in Cydia that closes the security vulnerability used by JailbreakMe 3.0. Just do a search in Cydia for "PDF Patcher 2" and install from there. This closes the security hole immediately so you are not left open to malicious attacks after the jailbreak.

I'm sure Apple will release iOS 4.3.4 shortly that will also plug this security hole as they did with iOS 3.2.2 after JailbreakMe 2.0 was released last August.
 
if you install the patch and restore your ipad will you be able to rejailbreak if you dont install the apple update?

Yes you can rejailbreak in this case. You can actually uninstall the patch from within Cydia if you ever needed to for whatever reason.
 
I will install this but what exactly does it protect me from? I know, stupid question but just wanted to know :)
 
thanks

Hey Thanks for pdf - i installed it from cydia easy - is there another patch to correct the camera kit problem on Jailbreakme 3.0?:D
