Apple has fixed Comex's kernel exploit in iOS 4.3.1 closing the door to another jailbreak avenue. Interestingly, his "new" exploit was actually the same one used for JailbreakMe.

As noticed by @0naj, my kernel exploit was fixed in 4.3.1.

I try not to be paranoid, but it is really hard to explain this as anything but a leak.

The funny thing is that my "new" kernel exploit is actually the kernel exploit used by JailbreakMe 2.0. It was never properly fixed.

It stayed there from 4.0.2 through 4.3, but was magically found in time for 4.3.1. well, go go @MuscleNerd and @i0n1c I guess


As usual, we'll keep you informed with the latest jailbreak news as it becomes available.
