CoolStar juggles possibility of using Åkerblom’s kernel exploit to support up to iOS 14.8.1 via Taurine jailbreak

Security researcher John Åkerblom took everyone by surprise in April after releasing a kernel exploit for iOS & iPadOS 15.0-15.1.1. Setting this exploit apart from the one initially released by b1n4r1b01 was how it could be adapted to support the latest versions of iOS & iPadOS 14, up to and including 14.8.1.

Another iOS 15.0-15.1.1 kernel exploit released, this time with backward adaptability for newer versions of iOS 14

Prospective jailbreakers on iOS & iPadOS 15 have been biting their nails and waiting for what’s expected to be a rootless jailbreak from the Odyssey Team. But even as development continues, security researchers are still dropping kernel exploits.
