Apple is set to release a software patch to address a recently described security flaw in the iPhone, the UK network operator 02 has said (as reported by the BBC).
Experts say that modified SMS messages could result in iPhones being disconnected from the network or hijacked altogether. Phones incorporating the Windows Mobile and Google Android operating systems are also vulnerable, they said.
An O2 spokesperson said the iPhone patch would be available Saturday through iTunes.
