The clock is ticking for Apple to issue a patch for the iOS operating system that powers iPhones, iPods and iPads following the release of a remote exploit that uses specially crafted PDF files to defeat iOS s content protection mechanisms and jailbreak mobile devices like the iPhone and iPad. Security experts said this week that the PDF-based exploit that is the basis of the iOS JailbreakMe 3 exploit could be used in a malicious, drive by attack on iOS devices. Apple has promised a patch but has not given any estimate of how long it will take the company to issue the fix.
