Confirmed: Jailbreak/AppSnapp fixes TIFF Exploit hole in iPhone Safari

For everyone worried about malicious TIFF exploits, you might want to take a few seconds and re-read those jailbreak features listed on the AppSnapp page. See number 6? Not only does the team jailbreak your phone, add Installer.app and fix YouTube, but they also repair patch Safari's TIFF exploit hole. Yes, you read that right. These amazing hackers have done Apple a huge favor and fixed the very same exploit they used to jailbreak.

For those of you asking about unactivated phones, if you use the Safari access trick I posted about a few weeks ago, you will even activate your iPhone and bypass the whole "connect to iTunes" screen.

Is it possible to love these guys any more?

Thanks to Nicholas "Drudge" Penree.

Update: If you have already jailbroken your iPhone or iPod touch and want to patch Safari, head over to Installer.app and look under 1.1.1 Tweaks.

Update 2: Just a reminder that the jailbreak is due in large part to the efforts of "rezn"

ok help i need an answer please I have the iphone and its at 1.0.2 and already has the installer and a bunch of the wonderful 3rd party apps. I am not sure if it is ok to upgrade to 1.1.1? Is it? If so just upgrade? or restore first (HOW DO I DO THAT?)

How incredibly embarrassing for Apple. Not only can they not seem to fix a huge security hole, but the dev team has a) used it to do something Apple hates (give control of the iPhone from Apple to the end-user) and b) FIXED it themselves without any help from Apple.

Keep up the iPhone posts Erica!

I might actually try this now. I'm on 1.0.2 with summerboard. I do wish someone would post a step by step to go from that to this.

If I do it I'll post it.

Has anyone responded to Issue #29, because i Get the same thing..

"Error"
"Main script execution failed!"

Also, I upgraded to ver 1.1.1 on the iPhone, did the jailbreak, installed a few 3rd party apps, but they will show up for a second and disappear and the HOME screen will show? Did I miss something?
