Apple has released iOS 4.0.2 for iPhone4, iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS users. The newly released iOS patches the Safari’s PDF exploit that was used to jailbreak iPhone on iOS 4.0.1 with Comex’s browser based JailbreakMe. If you have a jailbroken iPhone or iPad then it is better not to update to iOS 4.0.2.
An update for iOS 3.2.2 for iPad is also available with the vulnerabilities patched. You can download the firmwares directly from the links at the end of the post.

Don’t forget: Jailbreakers can now be protected from the exploit as well by installing “PDF Patch” from Cydia!

But, jailbreakers still need to stay away from ios 4.0.2!
