Several security issues are addressed for iPhone OS in this update. All of them are applicable to iPhone OS 1.0 through 3.1.2, and iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 3.1.2. The update will bring your device up to OS 3.1.3 Almost all of the issues addressed are serious - many of them are buffer overflow conditions allowing arbitrary code execution for common iPhone activities:
These are referenced as CVE-2010-0036, CVE-2009-2285, CVE-2010-0038, CVE-2009-3384 and CVE-2009-2841 These updates are available on iTunes - more information on the issues and update procedure can be found at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4013 , or the main security update site at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222 The recommendation is to update your device to OS 3.1.3 as soon as possible.

A note to save others from the same time-wasting exercise as I have just enjoyed (groan).
Ensure you update to the latest version of iTunes (9.0.3) *before* trying to update your iPhone (OSX 10.5.8) See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 |
