For those with jailbroken iPhones, a community member has released the tweak BrickFix: https://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/c9616j/release_b...

Yep, it's a jailbreak tweak.

I was pretty amazed to discover there's already a workaround for Jailbroken devices: https://twitter.com/chpwn/status/43493433217789952

For those unaware, this is not the bug most jailbreakers will use for iOS 11.3.1, because I believe it requires a developer certificate. There is another, hard to exploit bug that does not.

Your jailbreak spirit lives on, a big thank you! A tweak exists for the official client to clean up a lot of the issues: https://github.com/BandarHL/BHTwitter

Hopefully this now gets more support with the antics that Twitter has pulled with these 3rd party clients.


FAQ has been updated. We provide example code for jailbroken iPhone in our SDK.

He's on a jailbroken device running an older iOS version.

Any way to check if my iPhone is affected? I'm still on 12.1.2, which was released before the fix, so if I'm affected, I should still have the malware on my device.

I'm not opposed to jailbreaking to check.


Put it up on Cydia in the meantime. Many of us with jail broken phones would like to see it.

If you're on a jailbreakable iOS version you can do this

There are tweaks available on Cydia for jailbroken iOS devices that provide similar functionality.

You don’t need a jailbreak to verify that this is fixed, fortunately.

Yeah, the tiff bug was one of the the first few iOS jailbreaks. The wiki says 1.0-1.1.1: https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/LibTiff_Exploit

I wrote a patch to fix it that one of the jailbreaks used. I wasn't in the scene, but wanted to protect my ipod touch. So I figured out a patch and gave it to somebody named "pumpkin" on IRC. It's been a long time, but I remember it was fun to learn ARM assembly and figure out how to rewrite the code to get enough space to insert a test and return.


I have a solution in the works to interface with a Jailbroken iPhone :) Should be up in the next two weeks.

Jay Freeman is the man who found the bug. He is also author of the infamous Cydia - tool to install software on jailbroken iOS devices.

I'm sure the jailbreaking community would love to hear from you if you can do the same on iOS.

I bet the Jailbreak community will come up with a workaround, assuming your phone has a Jailbreak option.
