"Apple has released a new version of its operating system, iOS 13.5.1, in order to provide “important security updates [that are] recommended for all users.”

It means Apple has patched the infamous “Unc0ver” jailbreak which allowed even the most recent iPhones to be compromised.

Apple’s security page states that the update was pushed out in order to stop software from “execut[ing] arbitrary code with kernel privileges” – which is how jailbreaking works.

To “jailbreak” an iPhone means to remove the usual restrictions imposed by Apple, allowing users more control such as loading apps that are not available in Apple’s App Store at the risk of lower device security.

It was discovered that the Unc0ver jailbreak has been circulating on the internet since at least February, with some speculating that hackers and researchers had the code since December 2019."
