The operating systems are also available for direct download from these locations (about 300MB each):
Although we haven't yet seen malicious attacks via the jailbreakme vulnerability, we recommend to install the patch right away.
This does mean that users who have jailbroken their devices and prefer to keep it that way will have to face the increased likelyhood of malicious attacks through this vulnerability.
We recommend that all iOS users, including those who have jailbroken their devices, would install the latest update now.
More details on what was patched is available from Apple. On 11/08/10 At 08:04 PM
