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."

  • With the iPhone OS being a branch of Mac OS X, wouldn't it make sense for Apple to issue more frequent security updates for the phone? Leopard is already at a .7 update, plus a number of security updates and rumors of 10.5.8 around the corner. Is there a reason not to have more frequent updates for the iPhone? I wonder if people would be turned off by having to update the software on their phone every month or so? I've never owned a Windows Mobile smartphone; do those devices participate in patch Tuesda
