iOS 8.4.1 Patches TaiG Jailbreak, Do Not Update!

That’s right! Apple has patched the exploit used by the TaiG team to jailbreak iOS 8.4.

The newly released iOS 8.4.1 firmware is no longer jailbreak friendly. If you want to keep your jailbreak, we recommend that you do not upgrade to iOS 8.4.1.

If you already updated to iOS 8.4.1, do not worry. Apple is still signing iOS 8.4, so you can simply downgrade and jailbreak using the TaiG tool.

However, if you feel like you need the new update, as it fixes certain Apple Music related bugs, then you should update and hope that there will be a jailbreak soon.

Here are all the TaiG exploits patched by Apple in iOS 8.4.1:

• AppleFileConduitAvailable for: iPhone 4s and later, iPod touch (5th generation) and later, iPad 2 and laterImpact: A maliciously crafted afc command may allow access to protected parts of the filesystemDescription: An issue existed in the symbolic linking mechanism of afc. This issue was addressed by adding additional path checks.CVE-IDCVE-2015-5746 : evad3rs, TaiG Jailbreak Team

• Air TrafficAvailable for: iPhone 4s and later, iPod touch (5th generation) and later, iPad 2 and laterImpact: AirTraffic may have allowed access to protected parts of the filesystemDescription: A path traversal issue existed in asset handling. This was addressed with improved validation.CVE-IDCVE-2015-5766 : TaiG Jailbreak Team

• BackupAvailable for: iPhone 4s and later, iPod touch (5th generation) and later, iPad 2 and laterImpact: A malicious application may be able to create symlinks to protected regions of the diskDescription: An issue existed within the path validation logic for symlinks. This issue was addressed through improved path sanitization.CVE-IDCVE-2015-5752 : TaiG Jailbreak Team
• Code SigningAvailable for: iPhone 4s and later, iPod touch (5th generation) and later, iPad 2 and laterImpact: A malicious application may be able to execute unsigned codeDescription: An issue existed that allowed unsigned code to be appended to signed code in a specially crafted executable file. This issue was addressed through improved code signature validation.CVE-IDCVE-2015-3806 : TaiG Jailbreak Team

• Code SigningAvailable for: iPhone 4s and later, iPod touch (5th generation) and later, iPad 2 and laterImpact: A specially crafted executable file could allow unsigned, malicious code to executeDescription: An issue existed in the way multi-architecture executable files were evaluated that could have allowed unsigned code to be executed. This issue was addressed through improved validation of executable files.CVE-IDCVE-2015-3803 : TaiG Jailbreak Team

• Code SigningAvailable for: iPhone 4s and later, iPod touch (5th generation) and later, iPad 2 and laterImpact: A local user may be able to execute unsigned codeDescription: A validation issue existed in the handling of Mach-O files. This was addressed by adding additional checks.CVE-IDCVE-2015-3802 : TaiG Jailbreak TeamCVE-2015-3805 : TaiG Jailbreak Team

• IOHIDFamilyAvailable for: iPhone 4s and later, iPod touch (5th generation) and later, iPad 2 and laterImpact: A local user may be able to execute arbitrary code with system privilegesDescription: A buffer overflow issue existed in IOHIDFamily. This issue was addressed through improved memory handling.CVE-IDCVE-2015-5774 : TaiG Jailbreak Team

We don’t think there will be a jailbreak for iOS 8.4.1 as iOS 9 will be dropping next month.

It would be better for the users if the hackers worked on releasing a jailbreak for iOS 9, rather than iOS 8.4.1.

What do you think?
