Apple have released a fix for the security flaws, which among other things, allowed the jailbreakme web site to jailbreak the iPhone. As the process uses flaws in Webkit and the PDF reader, which could also be used to download malware onto the iPhone, it is probably a good idea to install it - for people who have jailbroken their phones, the Cydia package already fixed the problem from day 1! :lol:

The Cydia package will also fix the flaw on the original iPhone and iPod touch. Something Apple's latest update won't.
