How To Patch The PDF Exploit That Allows JailbreakMe To Work

Earlier, we reported on JailbreakMe 3.0 becoming available, which relies on a PDF security exploit to work. Concerned about the risk? Once you’ve jailbroken, you can use the newly-updated Cydia app PDF Patcher 2 to fix the issue, returning your iDevice to safety.

It’s great to hear that you can patch this security risk so easily! Simply fire up Cydia on your jailbroken device, search for PDF Patcher 2, download and install it, and you’ll be secure once again.

It’s pretty important to patch this hole, as this could technically allow hackers access to your device for less wholesome reasons than applying a jailbreak. Apple will no doubt release an update in the rather near future to address this vulnerability as well.
