575979 2007-08-03 02:40:00 Apple issued the first security update for the iPhone Tuesday, beating an 2 August deadline to fix a flaw researchers said could be used to steal data from the device or even force it to make calls or secretly record conversations.

The iPhone 1.0.1 update, which is delivered through Apple's iTunes software and doesn't show up in the usual Software Update panel in Mac OS X (even when the phone is connected to a Mac), fixes two flaws in the Safari browser — one in WebCore and two in WebKit. WebCore is the part of the WebKit application framework that handles HTML rendering in the Mac operating system.
