Three unblocks jailbreakme.com for Iphone users
INTERNET FILTERS apparently have got minds of their own at the Three network after the company found that its computers had somehow categorised the site jailbreakme.com as a security risk.
It is certainly a security risk for Steve Jobs' walled garden, since jailbreakme.com provides the software jailbreakme 2.0 that can operate with IOS 4.0.1. Last week Three confirmed to The INQUIRER a claim made first on a social notworking website that the mobile network was blocking jailbreakme.com.
When The INQUIRER independently checked, our results showed that rather than point users to jailbreakme.com at its address of 174.35.52.142 the Three network sent its users to 92.41.252.3. In other words, back to the network operator's own website.
Today Three told The INQUIRER why the website blocking occured, "The site had been caught by our internet filters that had categorized it as a security risk. [T]his has now been fixed."
While The INQUIRER's conspiratorial suspicions have been laid to rest for now, Apple is known to not like jail breaking and has even filed a patent to fight it.
Apple has already been working hard to stop Iphone jailbreaking and released the IOS 4 fix 4.0.2 earlier this month. The official reason Apple released the IOS 4.0.2 patch for the Iphone, Ipod Touch and Ipad firmware was to block a pair of remote code execution flaws in the IOS PDF viewer and IOSurface components. They can be exploited by malware. But the patch also stopped jailbreaking software from working on Idevices.
Jailbreakme 2.0 only works on IOS 4.0.1 but hackers have already found a way round IOS 4.0.2 for some Apple products. Because Apple hasn't also updated the baseband, the older 05.13.04 baseband patch that accompanies IOS 4.0.2 means that the IOS patch is unlockable. This leaves the Iphone 3G and Ipod Touch 2G vulnerable to the latest version of the jailbreak software Redsn0w. And the Iphone 3G will be vulnerable even if it uses IOS 4.0.2. µ

The software is working as intended. jailbreakme.com uses a known vulnerability in PDF-rendering to execute code, for which it was correctly classified as malicious.
