Apple to Release Patch for iPhone Flaw

Posted by Kara Reeder Jul 31, 2009 1:57:58 PM

UK-based network operator O2 says Apple may issue a patch for the iPhone's SMS vulnerability as early as this weekend, reports InformationWeek. However, it's not clear if the patch will only be for O2 customers or if it is for all iPhones.

 

Security expert Charlie Miller recently discussed the SMS flaw at the Black Hat conference. Miller says a flaw in the way iPhones handle text messages received via SMS could allow an attacker to remotely install and run unsigned software code on the phone.
