Two New Exploits Found In iOS 5.1


Submitted by Demonchild; May 02, 2012


pod2g, the guy working on getting an untethered jailbreak going for iOS 5.1 has mentioned that he's found two entirely new exploits within the firmware.

In a tweet made a few days ago, pod2g said:

News: a productive week-end. Found 2 big vulnerabilities. 1 kernel land and 1 root land.

Good news for those waiting on an untethered jailbreak, especially for the A5 powered devices. With three exploits available that Apple hasn't patched yet, we can see some progress on the jailbreak. Hell, it could be released even quicker if any of these exploits are easier to work with.

As usual, there is no ETA provided with these kind of things, so you'll have to stay patient with this one, or get a device that's jailbreakable or perhaps, go to Android. :P

No thanks, I was on Android before iOS, it's so buggy and fragmented
