iPhone 3.0 Update Delivers Prodigious Patch Batch 150

Posted by timothy on Thursday June 18, 2009 @04:00PM from the switched-housemate's-iphone-to-danish dept.

CWmike writes "Apple patched 46 security vulnerabilities in the iPhone and iPod Touch, half of them in the Safari browser and its WebKit rendering engine, as it released iPhone OS 3.0 on Wednesday. One of the patched WebKit vulnerabilities stands out because of the attention it received in March, when a German college student, Nils, walked away with a $5,000 cash prize for hacking Safari at the Pwn2Own challenge. Nils used a bug in WebKit's handling of SVGList objects to crack Safari."

Real iPhone users don't need copy and paste. So the feature is irrelevant.

They'll use it as an excuse to take even more of your money every month. Don't want that now, do we?

Frankly I don't know what all the hoopla about iPhone OS 3.0 is about.
With the release of 3.0, Apple has once again revolutionized the entire realm of interpersonal communications using technology and have put the rest of the computer industry on notice that things are transformed forever.
Their accomplishment?
Patches.
I'm telling you, the iPhone is the Chuck Norris of high-tech fashion accessories. Everything that Apple does in regards to the iPhone is "revolutionary", "game-changing", and "transformative".
Patches...
