saurik explains in his introduction why his article is different (and potentially worth reading even if you've read other articles):
> Later articles were written about this bug, each examining the same exploit technique, coming to the conclusion that this vulnerability offered less abilities than the Master Key exploit, due to very narrow and unlikely requirements that the original signed application package must satisfy.
> In this article, I document different exploit techniques for this bug that do not have these limits; in fact, the second exploit described here provides much more capability than the Master Key exploit, allowing arbitrarily complex packages to take on the signatures from arbitrary signed packages. Finally, I look at the history of this bug in Android, showing when it was introduced.
- saurik 13y agoCorrect. In fact, in my section "Serious Limitations", I directly reference the article from Android Police and quote from its at-the-time understanding of the vulnerability.
