Lots of fixes
Fruity toymaker Apple has released an upgrade to its
iPhone OS. Version 3.1.3 (7E18), will replace the OS on all models
of iPhone and iPod touch gadgets.
It contains fixes for all those flaws which Apple denied
existed. These included the dodgy iPhone 3GS battery level reporting, the
crashing app on launch feature and a ton of security features. Of course the iPhone is totally secure as users are
protected by their faith in Steve Jobs. However just in case your faith is
feeling a bit weak, the fixes are for the following vulnerabilities.
One flaw means that playing a maliciously crafted mp4
audio file may cause the iPhone to crash or run arbitrary code execution
Another exploit involves a maliciously crafted TIFF image may lead to an
unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution.
Another gives a person with physical access to a locked
device the power to access the user’s data Steve Jobs blames all Apple's
crashes on Flash, which does not work on the iPhone so how an Apple fanboi can
explain this is anyone's guess.
