iOS 11.3.1 was launched last night by the company Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, and Apple officially claims to have solved it the problem of screens installed in iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. You already know that the screens replaced for iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus either did not work, or had ambient light sensors that did not work, iOS 11.3.1 solving the problem, less in the case of third-party screens.
iOS 11.3.1 has only this solution listed by Apple, but in the list of solutions for security problems, another very important solution is also listed. More specifically, the Apple company credits an IT security expert from Google Project Zero for discovering an important vulnerability in iOS 11.3, which is now blocked.
iOS 11.3.1: Important Problem Solved for iPhone and iPad
iOS 11.3.1 practically blocks an exploit that could be used for a jailbreak solution for iPhone and iPad, the man who discovered it called Ian Beer. What many don't know is that he revealed some of the exploits used for iOS 11 – iOS 11.1.2 jailbreak solutions for iPhone and iPad, so one for iOS 11.3 could be released soon.
"Crash Reporter. Available for: iPhone 5s and later, iPad Air and later, and iPod touch 6th generation. Impact: An application may be able to gain elevated privileges. Description: A memory corruption issue was addressed with improved error handling. CVE-2018-4206: Ian Beer of Google Project Zero.”
iOS 11.3.1 has not yet revealed any exploit that would allow the development of a jailbreak solution for iPhone and iPad, but for iOS 11.3 things could be different. If Ian Beer will publish the vulnerability discovered in iPhone and iPad with iOS 11.3, then the chances will increase exponentially that a jailbreak solution for iDevices will be released soon.
