Lots of fixes

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.
