iH8sn0w, winocm, and SquiffyPwn have released an updated version of p0sixspwn package for iOS 6.1.6 on Cydia.

Apple has released iOS 6.1.6 for iPhone 3GS and iPod touch 4G to fix the critical SSL bug dubbed “Gotofail” in the security community.

They haven’t updated p0sixspwn, the standalone jailbreak tool, so you will first need to perform a tethered jailbreak using Redsn0w, and then install the latest version of the p0sixspwn package v1.4-1 from Cydia to convert the tethered jailbreak to an untethered jailbreak.

Here are the steps:

• Use Redsn0w to perform a tethered jailbreak on your iOS device running on iOS 6.1.6. If you need help check out our step-by-step guide.

• After your device is successfully jailbroken, launch Cydia and install p0sixspwn 1.4 package to convert the tethered jailbreak to an untethered jailbreak.

If you need help, check out our step-by-step guide on how to jailbreak iOS 6.1.6 using a comination of Redsn0w and p0sixspwn.

iH8sn0w has said that updating the standalone p0sixspwn jailbreak tool is not a priority so currently this is the only way to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS or iPod touch 4G running iOS 6.1.6.
