The Patched flaws are:

  • Playing a maliciously crafted mp4 audio file may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution
  • Viewing a maliciously crafted TIFF image may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution
  • A person with physical access to a locked device may be able to access the user’s data
  • Accessing a maliciously crafted FTP server could result in an unexpected application termination, information disclosure, or arbitrary code execution
  • Mail may load remote audio and video content when remote image loading is disabled

According to Apple, the iPhone 3.1.3 update improves the accuracy of battery level.

iPhone and iPod Touch owners can wait out the update interval. iTunes will automatically check Apple’s update servers once a week or you can also retrieve iPhone 3.1.3 manually by selecting “Check for Update” under the iTunes Help menu and then docking the iPhone to a PC or Macintosh.
