Serious iPhone vulnerability discovered

A serious security vulnerability in Apple’s iPhone has been discovered by a team of experts working for independent Security Evaluators. This vulnerability would allow someone to take control of the iPhone over a WIFI connection or by tricking users to visit a specific malicious website and/or a specific link.

While serious, this exploit should be easily patched during one of the normal Apple iPhone syncs with iTunes once Apple has released the update.  Until then, users need to use normal security awareness about clicking on any unknown links and judicious use of WiFi.

One of the strengths of the Apple iPhone / iTunes system is the ability to easily update the iPhone OS with fixes and new features.

Some additional basic detail of the vulnerability can be found here.
