Jailbreaking is not a threat to the walled garden. The majority of users want the walls there to protect them from malware and crappy software breaking their device. The obvious market preference for managed devices that "just work" is lost on the HN crowd because most of us belong to a different market with different preferences.
My reading is that this bug could potentially allow apps to install rootkits. The speed of the fix tells me maybe it's being exploited that way right now in the wild.
BTW MacOS got the fix in record time too in spite of it being far less strictly walled than iOS. That supports my suspicion that this bug is being used in nasty ways.
