You too can get into somebody's locked iPhone, particularly if you have a prehensile tail and don't mind (almost) placing a phony emergency call. Which you a) probably don't and b) hopefully do.
But as Macworld noted, this isn't the first time Apple has had to grapple with an iPhone password security flaw.

Two Dutch researchers successfully hacked a patched iPhone 4S, exploit a vulnerability also likely present in the new iPhone 5 due to be released tomorrow.
Joost Pol and Daan Keuper won the mobile Pwn2Own contest yesterday at EUSecWest event in Amsterdam by compromising a fully patched iPhone 4S device and stealing contacts, browsing history, photos and videos from the phone.
The pair was able to build an exploit for a vulnerability in WebKit to beat Apple's code-signing features and the MobileSafari sandbox. The same bug is present in the iOS6 Golden Master development code base, meaning iPhone 5 is vulnerable to the same exploit. Apple iPads and iPod Touch devices are also vulnerable, Pol and Keuper said, adding that it took them three weeks find the flaw and write an exploit.

Reports suggest that both Facebook and Apple employees—and likely others, including Twitter—visited an infected Web site laden with malware, which exploited a vulnerability in Java. Now the cause has been identified, here's what you can do.
The root cause is reportedly one iPhone development Web site that became infected with malware, which was then able to dump its malicious payload on vulnerable machines. If those infected machines were connected then to a corporate network, that network will likely have been infected.
===> It's absolutely vital that you do not visit this site in any way, shape or form as it may still contain active malware that could lead to infection. <===
