Although the problem was fixed in May, for some reason it reverted to version 12.4, but the upgrade to iOS 12.4.1 which was released on Monday, will fix it again.
Η Apple has just fixed a serious flaw in iOS 12.4, which allowed the iPhone to be jailbroken, but at the same time exposed the security of smartphones in the field of software.
The solution to the problem is given by the version iOS 12.4.1, which was released on Monday. The strange thing is that Apple originally fixed this bug in May, but accidentally restored it to iOS 12.4.
So far, we have no official announcement as to why this happened, but the bug is particularly serious as it could allow a malicious application to execute code with administrator privileges, bypassing operating system defenses.
One week ago, hacker Pwn20wnd exploited the bug to create a jailbreaking tool for iPhones and iPads with iOS 12.4 installed. Using the tool, consumers can remove iOS restrictions and modify software to install third-party applications that have not been approved by Apple.
On the other hand, the same bug could allow other hackers to install malware on iOS devices. This can be done by installing an application, which in turn will allow for remote control of the device.
In Apple's release notes for iOS 12.4.1, the company did not fail to thank Pwn20wnd for his "help" in making the problem public. Pwn20wnd, meanwhile, has suggested to his Twitter followers to avoid upgrading to the latest version of iOS if they want to jailbreak their device.
