When
iOS 6.1.3 hits, it’ll put a stop to the evasi0n jailbreak, according to evad3rs
team member planetbeing. Beta 2 of the OS hit just a few days ago; at the time, it was unclear if the software,
which fixes that passcode security exploit, put an end to the massively popular
jailbreak tool.
Planetbeing
tested 6.1.3 over the weekend and found that one of the five exploits evasi0n
uses was repaired. “The beta update likely signals the end of using evasi0n to
hack new or updated devices after the updates is released to users,”
planetbeing explained. He said he’s further investigating to see what other
vulnerabilities were patched.
Apple
has been quick to roll out iOS updates over the past few weeks, but evasi0n
still endured. Planetbeing said that while some vulnerabilities are being
closed, the team has already discovered new ones, so the cat and mouse game
will likely continue on even when iOS 6.1.3 officially hits.
