Actually, they're still using the tarbomb. But they're exploiting the default update script that we already have a signature for, and it extracts the tarbomb to overwrite the signing key. This needs to be fixed, however, as there's no reason to overwrite the key, just install a new one. The update scripts use any keys in the directory. Then the "jailbreak" wouldn't have to be uninstalled.
