iOS as well - JailbreakMe[0] and TotallyNotSpyware[1] use a WebKit exploit to get out of the sandbox to then trigger other exploits that allow full system compromise/control.
Note that, while earlier JailbreakMe exploits were patchable if you installed a patch[2], the readme in the TotallyNotSpyware repo explains that, in general, there's not a patch for the exploit post-jailbreak, so you could still be pwned by a third-party website should they deliver this exploit with a spyware payload.
