Apple has just released a patch (Iphone firmware 3.0.1) for the SMS vulnerability that was detailed Wednesday at the Black Hat Security conference.

Description: A memory corruption issue exists in the decoding of SMS messages. Receiving a maliciously crafted SMS message may lead to an unexpected service interruption or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue through improved error handling. Credit to Charlie Miller of Independent Security Evaluators, and Collin Mulliner of Fraunhofer SIT for reporting this issue.
