Apple has just released the new iOS 4.3.5 and customers of the iPhone, iPad and iPod (ipod touch firmware 3.1.3 download) Touch will be happy to know it will fix the security vulnerability with certificate validation, jailbreakers will also be pleased that RedSn0w will jailbreak it, but if you like your jailbreaking do no download iOS 4.3.5.

iOS 4.3.5 Security Update
which is meant to patch a security vulnerability which could have left your phone open to an attack. If you're not using a jailbroken device you should probably connect your iPhone, iPod (ipod touch firmware 3.1.3 download) touch or iPad to iTunes and install iOS 4.3.5 to tighten security. For Verizon iPhone users, the software update will bring iOS 4.2.10.
iPad 2 Jailbreak
While Apple can claim the recent update was to "protect" users, in reality it will only add additional safety to the most careless of users. After all, a program called "PDF Patcher 2″ was widely available via the Cydia app store and other sources. The PDF Patcher 2 does pretty much the exact same thing as iOS 4.3.4, but does so after the user has jailbroken.
iOS 4.3.4 Jailbreak released
The message from the iPhone Dev Team is that most users should stay on iOS 4.3.3 and not update at all; there's no new functionality to be had, only the security fix (which can be achieved with a third-party app called PDF Patcher 2, available from the Cydia unofficial app store). Meanwhile this new jailbreak won't work on the iPad 2, and is being billed as primarily for the benefit of kernel hackers who want to work on the very latest firmware version.
