Techtree News Staff, Aug 29, 2008 1220 hrs IST

The recently discovered iPhone security flaw is set to be fixed with a security update expected to be out in September.

The infamous iPhone security flaw is set to be fixed, thanks to a security update that is expected to be out sometime in September. The flaw, which enabled others to bypass the security lock code, was discovered earlier this month.

Jennifer Bowcock, an Apple representative, in an email to Macworld, said, "The minor iPhone security issue which surfaced this week is fixed in a software update which will be released in September."

Here's a temporary fix for the bug:

1. In the iPhone Home, go to Settings
2. Click on General
3. Click on Home
4. Click on either Home or iPod
