SMB News from Network World: Apple patches critical flaws in iPhone, iPod Touch

“Apple today patched five vulnerabilities in the iPhone’s operating system, including one in a password-locking feature that’s required attention before.

iPhone OS 3.1.3 , the first update since September 2009, addressed five bugs, three of which were tagged with the phrase ‘arbitrary code execution,’ Apple-speak for a critical vulnerability. Unlike other software makers, such as Microsoft and Oracle, Apple does not rank flaws with a threat-scoring system.”
