At the beginning of this month of July the alarm was raised in the security of Apple mobiles and tablets. And is that, according to a German company, Cupertino computers (iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch) could be vulnerable by opening PDF files with malicious content. So, Apple has remedied the security hole in its mobile icon system and has released a new update: iOS 4.3.4.
In addition, it should be remembered that this same security flaw is the same that is used to make the famous JailbreakMe , which also appeared in its latest version days before this alarm notice. But what is the problem now? For users who are used to install applications unofficial Apple by accessing the alternative store Cydia, look like with this new update pederán access and all applications installed by this method.
Thus, once the iPhone mobile phones, iPad tablets or iPod Touch touch players (all of them last generation) are updated, it will prevent any malicious software from being installed when opening any document in PDF format, coming from Internet pages or of emails. And incidentally, Apple also ensures that its customers do not resort to unlocking their mobile devices and continue to install applications that are in the AppStore.
In any case, JailbreakMe is already working to cope with the new update launched by Apple. So if a user does not want to lose installed applications and their access to the Cydia store, they should wait a few days and see what happens around this problem.
