Apple Releases iOS 4.3.4 – Patches PDF Vulnerability
1
Apple recently seeded iOS 4.3.4 for its iOS devices including the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad, and 3rd and 4th generation iPod Touch devices. Apple also release a comparable update for Verizon Wireless’ CDMA iPhone 4, iOS 4.2.9.
These new builds include a security update that addresses the vulnerability with PDF files. This directly patches the extremely popular JailbreakMe.com jailbreak solution, which was by far the easiest way to jailbreak iOS devices. JailbreakMe will no longer function on devices running the newer firmwares, which are available now on iTunes.

MuscleNerd recently tweeted that Redsn0w was updated as well to fix the sandboxing issue More >

JailbreakMe 3.0 Release Date Leaked – Said To Be July 5th
0July 5, 2011
For people who didn’t already know, JailbreakMe 3.0 was leaked earlier this holiday weekend and Comex has been racing against Apple to release the official jailbreak tool before Apple patches it with iOS 4.3.4. Speculation previously pointed to Comex having a little less than 10 days to release his jailbreak tool. The speculation was solely coming from the fact that it took Apple 10 days to patch the exploit for JailbreakMe 2.0 and this time around, Apple probably had teams on standby awaiting for the tool to be released.

Yea, JailbreakMe 3.0 is being prepped! And it’s still Sun/Funday : )
