iOS 4.0.2 for iPhone/iPod touch, iOS 3.2.2 updates available now

Within the last few minutes, iOS 4.0.2 for iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4, and iPod touch 2nd and 3rd generation (late 2009 models with 32 or 64 GB) has become available for download. In addition, the iPad has received an update to iOS 3.2.2.
The updates fix a security vulnerability that was associated with viewing malicious PDF files. It doesn't appear that there are any fixes to any other issues (i.e., the proximity sensor glitch), but the fix to the PDF exploit insures that the iOS platform remains secure.
For a security fix, the update is huge -- the iPhone update is 580MB in size and the iPad update is 457MB. For a look at more detailed information about what the updates patch, check out the iOS 4.0.2 Update description and the iOS 3.2.2 Update description on Apple's website.

Hi,
I would like to upgrade to 4.0.2 but not to 4.1. I was wondering if there is anyway to upgrade to 4.0.2 since when I try to download the ipsw for 4.0.2 and open the software, nothing happens.
Please let me know what I would need to do to upgrade to 4.0.2
The new 4.1 upgrade is there for the download - I've done it and it seems to work a treat. Here's my experience

Although it's not properly finished yet (Game center still empty), I still like iOS 4.1 bêta 2 on iPod Touch 2G. Not on par with 3.1.3 yet, but quite OK.
Don't expect reasonable battery drain, however. It still sucks the life out of it when hooked on a wifi network.
I find my 3G iPhone is working a lot better with the 4.0.2 update. It was constantly hogging since the 4.0.0 and 4.0.1 update.

Actually.. Adobe Reader does have such a bug and Adobe is going to release a fix by the 16th, see:

Don't see anyone busting Adobe's door, I guess people just don't know about it.
