Apple iPhone v1.0.1 Update Now Available

Posted by kdawson on from the more-better-security dept.

The Webguy writes "Apple has released the first update for the iPhone. Updated components in the v1.0.1 update include Safari, the WebCore, and the WebKit. Quoting from the Apple Knowledge Base, the 'update is only available through iTunes, and will not appear in your computer's Software Update application, or on the Apple Support Downloads site.'" One source speculated that Apple wanted to get fixes in users' hands ahead of the Black Hat conference where details of early iPhone vulnerabilities could be revealed.

    An iPhone will work, but really it could be any item that indicates to the woman that you're willing to spend hundreds of dollars on something pretty.

    I just had some ringtones on there and the software verification failed. Had to do a full restore. It took longer and I have to re-hack it to get my cat-screech custom ringtone for the wife back, but otherwise painless.

    Arbitrary code execution? But isn't that what every iPhone user has been clamoring for?
