So, it turns out that my iPod can be pwned. Amusing. This is an unpatched vulnerability folks. For our American cousins with the iPhone I would hazard this is more for them to be concerned about.
From Secunia:
Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in Apple iPod touch and Apple iPhone, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a vulnerable device.The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the processing of TIFF images and can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a specially crafted TIFF image is viewed, e.g. in the Safari web browser.
The vulnerability is reported in iPod touch version 1.1.1 and iPhone version 1.1.1. Other versions may also be affected.
