According to TechCrunch, it is possible for an existing iPhone App Store developer to put a hack that will allow the application to run arbitrary code that the user doesn’t want to…
It is a massive hole in the security system of the iPhone, I hope it will be fixed in the 2.2 firmware release.

Today the first
iPhone software update is released.
iPhone 1.0.1. It patches the
vulnerabilities in Safari and some other security holes recently discovered. And for those with hacked
iPhones, the update appears to wipe your mods! Which mod exactly remains unclear. The researchers who discovered the flaws in Safari were set to reveal the details of their finds at the
annual hacker conference.

The mobile operators are commonly responsible to patch flaws and bugs of mobile phones. Apple left this right as (software)manufacturer open. According to
IDGnews, patching the
iPhone flaw would also show that Apple had made the right decision in reserving the right to patch the phone itself instead of handing over control of the
iPhone software to the mobile carrier companies, as is common practice with mobile phones.
Carriers have been slow to patch devices, even when they have known bugs, said Robert Graham, CEO of Errata Security Inc. "Right now other smart phones are full of vulnerabilities and they are not getting patched," he said. "This is actually a good test to see if Apple can do this better than the mobile carriers."

Okay listen, when you start safari and open a webpage, your iPhone can accept and run mailcious code without your notice. That is basically the
exploit found by researchers, working for
Independent Security Evaluators (ISE), a company that tests its clients’ computer security by hacking it. What they claim is that you simply injects specific malicious code to the Safari browser which can control your iPhone to let it do anything what you, as phone owner, can do. Examples: send the contact list to the attacker or steal any file on the iPhone. Let your phone vibrate and ring some ringtones. Dial a number, send a SMS or start recording audio and send it to the attacker (oldskool bug-device!). The stream below does not really proof their claim but ISE member Dr. Charlie Miller will be presenting the details of the exploit at
BlackHat in Las Vegas on August 2 at 4:45. A deadline for Apple fix the problem. Here is a
paper for the techguys among us.
