Charlie Miller on iOS 5.0.1 Security Fix
Update: About the unreleased App Store / iOS code signing security flaw popularized this week, Charlie Miller @0xcharlie:
Apple released 5.0.1 which is supposed to fix the flaw I pointed out. Please upgrade to get the fix.
So that’s great news for iOS security, but if you want to jailbreak iOS 5, you should not update to 5.0.1.
