Available for: iPhone OS 1.0 through 3.1.2,
iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 3.1.2
Impact: A person with physical access to a locked device may be able
to access the user's data
Description: A memory corruption issue exists in the handling of a
certain USB control message. A person with physical access to the
device could use this to bypass the passcode and access the user's
data. This issue is addressed through improved handling of the USB
control message.
WebKit
CVE-ID: CVE-2009-3384
Available for: iPhone OS 1.0 through 3.1.2,
iPhone OS for iPod touch 1.1 through 3.1.2
Impact: Accessing a maliciously crafted FTP server could result in
an unexpected application termination, information disclosure, or
arbitrary code execution

Impact: Mail may load remote audio and video content when remote

Description: When WebKit encounters an HTML 5 Media Element pointing
to an external resource, it does not issue a resource load callback
to determine if the resource should be loaded. This may result in
undesired requests to remote servers. As an example, the sender of an
HTML-formatted email message could use this to determine that the
message was read. This issue is addressed by generating resource load
callbacks when WebKit encounters an HTML 5 Media Element.

It's out now. iTunes is prompting me to download.
As always, jailbreakers and unlockers are encouraged to leave it the heck alone until it has been vetted by Dev Team and the like. :)

Yeah, see the entry in the post above that says "Recovery Mode CVE-ID: CVE-2010-0038"?
That means Apple closed off the iBoot vulnerability that both blackra1n and the latest redsn0w (0.9.x) use to jailbreak your phones.
If you have iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPod Touch 1G or 2G, you can downgrade if you accidentially update (there is no news yet as to whether or not 3.1.3 contains a baseband update for 3G/3GS though).
If you have iPhone 3GS (either the earlier OR later/tethered-jailbreak version) or iPod Touch 3G or 2G 8GB "MC" model, and you update, for now you're screwed. No way to downgrade, and no way to jailbreak again.
