It's time to patch your iPhone and/or iPod. Apple released a patch last night that addresses several vulnerabilities in the iPhone OS, some of these vulnerabilities already have exploits that are out "in the wild".
To patch your device, hook it up to your computer and launch iTunes and it should find the update automatically. If it doesn't, click on your iPhone or iPod icon and click the Update button, then follow the prompts. Depending on your Internet connection, the update can take about 10 to 15 minutes to download (longer on slower connections) and it takes another 10 minutes to do the install. During this time you will be unable to make or receive calls.
