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.
I'll look into it. The idea to substitute the primary key was jyavenard's, we just got it to work on 2.5. I don't have access to a Kindle at this moment, so I cannot dump the filesystem and take a look at the updater script. If you post it here, or at least post the part where it picks the public key from /etc/uks, I will make a new jailbreak. Probably.
