iPhone, iPod touch 1.1.2 Updates Go Mainstream

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007 at 7:35 AM - by

The iPhone and iPod touch Software Update 1.1.2 shipped on the first batch of iPhones sold in Germany and the U.K., but didn't begin appearing as an option in iTunes until Monday evening. Apple is calling the update a security patch because it removes a flaw that could allow at attacker to use a maliciously crafted TIFF image to run arbitrary code on the hand held devices.

The update appears only in iTunes, and can't be download from Apple's Support Web site.


iPhone Software Update 1.1.2: Now in iTunes.

Any iPhone or iPod touch that has been jailbroken to allow the installation of third party applications will lose the added programs, and will also be re-locked. It also appears that unlocked iPhones running on alternate cell carrier services are not disabled by the update.

Additional information about iPhone and iPod touch Software Update 1.1.2 is available at Apple's Support Web site.

One little glitch with the update though. Although you can create new calendar items with the iPod Touch now, when you sync them back to the Mac (iCal), it puts them in the Home calendar regardless of where you tell it to sync in the iTunes iPod Touch Info pane. Called Apple's AppleCare folks...first they had seen of it, but didn't have an answer. They thought it might be a bug.
