It seems iOS 11.2 – 11.2.6 users may can get Cydia for their devices soon! Coolstar, the developer of iOS 11 – 11.1.2 Electra jailbreak is interesting to release a new jailbreak for iOS 11.2.6
iOS hacker Chris Wade published a new iOS iOS 11.2.6 kernel exploit and according to Coolstar, it can be used to develop an iOS 11.2 – 11.2.6 jailbreak. This will be really good news for Cydia loving peoples with iOS 11 latest versions. However, Apple has patched this bug in iOS 11.3 as upcoming jailbreak will not be compatible for iOS 11.3 and iOS 11.3.1.
However, there are another vulnerabilities still present in iOS 11.3 / 11.3.1 latest versions. Alibaba security researcher Min Zheng, Tesent KeenLab team and Qihoo 360 Vulcan Team already have successfully achieved jailbreak with Cydia on iOS 11.3 / 11.3.1 firmware.
