Has anyone else seen this on Engadget yet?

Pretty bad hole. Glad to see it's getting patched, though.

I apologize if this has been posted before.

looks interesting! could this be used currently in a good way? to make subtle adjustments to software without JBing?

I guess this is why OS 3.1 is being seeded?

The most interesting part of that article to me is that the patch is supposed to be out by the end of the month. If this is in fact real information and not Engadget's own assumption or something of the sorts then that means we have a nice time frame for 3.1.

Scary stuff! I don't suppose there's any precautions we can take to be safer..
