iPhone software update fixes SMS vulnerability

If you've got an iPhone, take the time this weekend to update your software to the latest version, 3.0.1. It doesn't have any flashy new features - sorry, no MMS just yet - but it closes a major security loophole that was made public at the Black Hat conference on Thursday. The exploit allows remote code execution on any iPhone, just by sending an SMS message.

In theory, this vulnerability could have been used to take control of large numbers of iPhones and access a huge amount of personal info, but Apple says no iPhones have been compromised by the SMS vulnerability. There was apparently a similar exploit for Android phones, but Google issued a patch before the Black Hat presentation. The iPhone 3.0.1 update is free, and available through iTunes.
