iOS 6.1.3 released - Apple fixes iPhone/iPad passcode-bypass security loophole

Apple has just released iOS 6.1.3, an operating system update for iPhones and iPads that is said to fix a high profile (but probably not widely abused) flaw that could potentially allow someone to bypass your device's lock screen.
As Naked Security described last month, a video was posted on YouTube showing how nimble-fingered mischief-makers could gain access to some of the data on your iPhone or iPad by following a sequence of swipes, keypresses and even making a phoney emergency call.
The update weighs in at 18.2 MB, and can be downloaded "over-the-air" via Settings / General / Softare Update...

iOS 6.1.3 is also said to include Maps updates for Japan. It's hard to tell if Apple has included other security fixes in this release, as - at the time of writing - the company's security knowledgebase page contains no details of the security-related content in this update.

I hope you have better luck clicking on that link than I did.
Nevertheless, you have to be grateful that Apple has now fixed this security loophole. At least Apple iPhone and iPad devices are typically running an up-to-date version of their operating system.
