Apple has released iOS 13.5.1 software update for all iOS 13 compatible devices and the update is now available for download. iPadOS 13.5.1 and watchOS 6.2.6 have also been released.
As expected Apple has killed the vulnerability that was used by the unc0ver iOS 13.5.1 jailbreak. Since the unc0ver jailbreak was one of the rare jailbreak releases that was based on a 0-day exploit it took Apple some time to come up with the patch.
In the past most jailbreaks were based on 1-day vulnerablity, meaning Apple was already aware of the exploit before the jailbreak was released to public. This gave it the ability to close it even before a jailbreak was made available. iOS 13.5 jailbreak was different in this regard and must have caught Apple by surprise.
Jailbreak Users Should Stay Away from iOS 13.5.1
Needless to say if you are someone who is interested in keeping his or her iPhone, iPad or iPod touch jailbroken then you should stay away from iOS 13.5.1 or iPadOS 13.5.1.
Apple has also mentioned the unc0ver vulnerability on its security content page and the fact that this release fixes that bug.
