iOS 11.2.2 Jailbreak Could Be Possible With New Vulnerability Discovered By Adam Donenfeld

Adam Donenfeld - who is part of the same Zimperium team who teases a number of bugs on iOS 11.2.2 - once again throws the cat among the pigeons in the jailbreak community by confirming that he has another kernel-level bug. on iOS, this time affecting the mobile platform version of Apple under the current iOS 11.2.5 release.

If someone stepped onto a plate and faced that challenge then hopefully we can see jailbreak tools being pushed into the community to free the device on or under iOS 11.2.2.

As a final sidenote, it should be mentioned that if this overflowing pile is converted into exploitation, and eventually becomes a public jailbreak, by someone with knowledge and technical skills, then it will only be useful to the iPhone and iPad owners. which is currently sitting on an iOS version less than iOS 11.2.5. This is because Donenfeld has confirmed that this bug has been patched with the release of iOS 11.2.5, and with Apple no longer signing any firmware under the current public release, this means the device owner will not be able to roll back to a compatible version containing bugs that could exploited..
