A new security hole that exploits the iPhone's emergency call feature in password-protected mode was stumbled upon by a 12 year old and his father. The flaw is almost the same as the one discovered a few weeks back. This was in iPhone version 2.1 (5F136), the currently shipping version. Since I have no access to beta of non-released firmwares I cant test to see if it has been fixed since then. For those how care, this is bug 6267416. I dont have much hope for it being fixed soon, because my security bug 5368148 from July of 2007 is still marked as open, and still unfixed in 10.5.5. Comments ...
