Saffron



Saffron (also known as JailbreakMe 3.0) is a userland untethered jailbreak from comex that utilizes JailbreakMe.com, yet again. It was the first jailbreak made available to the public for the iPad 2 running iOS 4.3.3. In 2011, comex began to put up teasers on JailbreakMe. On 2011, someone found a prerelease version of "Saffron," the third incarnation of JailbreakMe, through Google dorking on comex's website. Subsequently, this version leaked publicly. On 2011, "Saffron" made its official debut on JailbreakMe.

This jailbreak was patched on 2011 with the releases of iOS 4.2.9 (iPhone 4 CDMA model) and 4.3.4 (all other devices).

Exploits Used

 * T1 Font Integer Overflow
 * IOMobileFrameBuffer Privilege Escalation Exploit

Domain owner problem
On 2011, MuscleNerd announced that the domain was sold and that the new owner was unknown, creating a danger of the site hosting malware. The new owner sold it the next day to saurik, who hosted the site anyway, resolving the concern.

Certificate problem
Starting early 2015, the domain started to display a blank homepage. In addition, JailbreakMe began to redirect traffic to HTTPS; however, the TLS certificate it was using was invalid. Turns out comex moved the files to his personal domain.
