So, if my reading of 1.1.1 jailbreak thing is correct, TIFF image on a webpage can make Safari do interesting things, [removed]such as writing data to broadband [/removed] [added] shouldn't we talk a little about patching this?[/added]

Interesting things YES

Write to the baseband: no.

The one thing everyone is overlooking when complaining that apple locked down the previous exploits that jailbreaking took advantage of is that these were exploits that malicious code could take advantage of.

Interesting things, such as uploading any code to non-protected memory, right?

Personally I would be more happy to see anyone patching this vulnerability
than working on any other interesting application

Scary stuff -> http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/200...loit-crea.html
So how does this affect the various iterations of unlocks: iUnlock, AnySim, ISPF, etc. - with Metasploit calling out these security vulnerabilities Apple will have to do something (upgrade firmware) in order to address these issues, if they don't then Apple will look very irresponsible and will be bad PR for them for not protecting their consumers. IPhoneDev and others would need to find another hole to unlock our phones....Apple could potentially lock down the IPhone and probably why they're doing the Web 2.0 thing instead of allowing native apps?

I don't think I understand this quote from the link:

"All they'll need to do is back port the firmware to an earlier version that's vulnerable,"
