Apple releases iOS 4.3.5 to address certificate violation issue
The update comes less than two weeks after iOS 4.3.4 was released. It is available for the GSM iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, iPad 2, iPad, and third- and fourth-generation iPod touch.
Also released on Monday was iOS 4.2.10 for the CDMA iPhone, available on Verizon's network.
The previous iOS update was released on July 15. It patched a security hole related to viewing PDFs in the Mobile Safari Web browser, an exploit that had been utilized by hackers to "jailbreak" the iPhone and iPad.
Though security fixes have been issued, Apple is not expected to add any major new features to iOS 4. The company is focused on delivering the next-generation version of its mobile operating system, iOS 5, to users this fall.
iOS 5 is currently in beta and is being tested by developers who write software for iPhones and iPads. The fourth beta of iOS 5 was issued to developers last Friday.

Hey! No comments about how Apple is just doing it to cheat the jailbreak community out of their legal right to jailbreak their phones. I'm impressed.

Thanks for inciting something that wasn't going to happen.
All this is fluff before iOS 5, anyway. I'm sure plenty of "valid" users won't even upgrade.
Holy moly, this update is taking forever. I thought my iPhone 4 had crashed during the process of installing it, but finally, I see the progress bar moving.

They only did this to prevent me from jailbreaking my phone - even though I don't jailbreak it to begin with!
All better now, huh?
Anybody with any sense will be updating ASAP. Honestly once an exploit is known in the wild you just asking for trouble to ignore an update.
I see it as a very positive thing that Apple isn't shy about releasing security updates
