JailbreakMe - The First Jailbreak For iPad 2

JailbreakMe is a series of jailbreaks for the Apple iOS system that takes advantage of the flaws in the Safari browser. It provides users with a one step jailbreak unlike redsn0w or blackra1n that require users to plug their iDevice into a PC where they have to run jailbreaking software. JailbreakMe automatically includes Cydia.

The first version of JailbreakMe was released in 2007 and was for the iPhone and iPod Touch running on firmware 1.1.1. The second version came in August 2010 and was for firmware 4.0.1 and earlier. The third version was released in July 2011 for iOS versions 4.3 to 4.33 and this was the first jailbreak available for the iPad 2.

JailbreakMe 3.0 can jailbreak most iDevices on iOS 4.3 to 4.3.3 and the iPad 2 on 4.3.3. JailbreakMe 3.0 exploits a FreeType parser security flaw using the form of a PDF file rendered by Mobile Safari which then uses a kernel vulnerability to complete the untethered jailbreak.
