"Will this be useful for jailbreak? Probably not.

This - as far as I can tell - affects userspace processes only. Jailbreaks require a kernel exploit. (The Apple Security release notes says that this bug may allow “arbitrary code with kernel privileges”, but I can’t see how.)

You might still do something cool on iOS with this, but I’m not sure what you’d overwrite: codesigning should protect all executables and libraries. (I have not tested this: let me know if you find anything!)"

Looks like system integrity protection? or some other mechanism preventing this?
