iOS 4.3.4 Now Available, Fixes Jailbreak Security Hole

By

iOS 4.3.4 update

Apple has just released the latest version of iOS to combat the PDF vulnerability that was uncovered by the recent JailbreakMe tool. iOS 4.3.4 is now available for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. iOS 4.2.9 has also been released for the Verizon iPhone with the same fix.

Nothing else looks new in this version of iOS, but security conscious folks will be glad to know that yet another exploit has been patched by Apple in 4.3.4. Apple told us all this was coming over a week ago.

Obviously, if you’re jailbroken, you’ll want to stay away from 4.3.4. The web-based jailbreak called JailbreakMe is responsible for Apple pushing out this iOS update in the first place.

Plug your iDevice into iTunes to grab the newest update.
