To that end, Apple's patch notes are direct and to the point:
Apple has not yet updated the Security Updates page with information on the security content of the patch.
- Fixes a bug that could allow someone to bypass the passcode and access the Phone app
- Improvements to Maps in Japan
The passcode bypass flaw was uncovered in the middle of February. It involved attempting to turn the phone off, then making, and immediately canceling, an emergency call, and holding down the power and home buttons in sequence. Doing so would bypass the passcode lock, giving the perpetrator access to your iPhone.
