Apple Issues PDF Exploit Fix for iPhone and iPad

Apple has today released an update for iOS 4 and iPad software. The update fixes a PDF exploit that came to light last week after it was used to aid in the Jailbreaking of iPhones. Fears were raised early last week that the exploit could be used for malicious purposes.

The update which brings iOS to version 4.0.2 and the iPad to 3.2.2 lists only the PDF fix as included.

The update is available for:

  • iPhone 4
  • iPhone 3GS
  • iPhone 3G
  • iPad Wi-Fi
  • iPad Wi-Fi + 3G

Users can update via syncing with iTunes.
