Available iOS 7.0.2, update that fixes several security issues

Apple launches this afternoon the second update of iOS 7. As have been detected early iPhone users is now available for download iOS 7.0.2. The list of changes provided by the company indicates that it is a patch designed to correct errors, among which there is the security issue that allowed to make calls even when the screen was active PIN lock, but not the only one.

Users of iDevices compatible with iOS 7 will receive from this evening a notice of the availability of an OTA update. This is the second version of software in less than a week and is specifically tailored to address some of the security issues discovered since being released the new version of iOS on 18 September.

Changes that should be corrected with priority

This is a 17.4 MB update. As seen in the screenshot of iPhone, Apple will mainly include patches to fix bugs detected so far and iOS 7.0.1 failed to neutralize. Also reintroduced Greek keyboard options for the access code.
Thus, once installed iOS 7.0.2 should fix some security problems most notorious in recent days. And that is already published as users discovered that iOS 7 in its initial version allowed to skip the lock code of the home screen and make calls . Similarly it was learned that through the control center (and synchronized multi-touch buttons) it was possible to access the camera application. From there, access to the image gallery also allowed to sneak into social networks through shared function.
All these problems have been eliminated with this update that has been released a few days to know the availability of the above, iOS7.0.1.
