Apple releases iOS 4.0.2 and 3.2.2 update to fix PDF security flaw

Apple has quickly patched the recently uncovered security flaw with how PDF files are handled in Safari in iOS 4.0.1 and earlier for the iPod Touch and iPhone, and iOS 3.2.1 and earlier for the iPad.


The problem was originally uncovered with the release of jailbreaking software by the iPhone Dev Team, which took advantage of the flaw by loading the software when visiting the jailbreak website.

The updates to fix this problem should now be available via iTunes, and it is highly recommended that you install it; however, be sure to back up your iOS devices before applying the updates.
