The libTiff Exploit is used to jailbreak firmware 1.1.1. It is used by planetbeing's jailbreak as well as AppSnapp.

This is exploitable on all previous firmwares (1.0-1.1) as well, as proven in the 4039JB.

Exploit

There was a buffer overflow in the iPhone's libtiff. This was exploited to run a small application to jailbreak and patch libtiff. This exploit was also used for PSP homebrew, which cmw also worked on. The source code of the exploit was later released by cmw on his blog.
