Right, which is why I'm not sure what the bug is.

Which ports are exposed by the browser? A port is just a port, unless it's a port with a known vulnerability. Every computer on the planet has open ports.

Edit: I just have a hard time trusting anything coming out of anyone associated with Gawker right now. This "hacker" group was paid off by Gawker for the exclusive on the AT&T hack, which they then reported as an iPad problem to get back at Apple. Now the FBI is investigating this "hacker" group and so anything they have to say right now is inherently questionable at best.

Especially a vague allusion to some exposed ports in a sandboxed application.

Edit: I see now that the ports in question are apparently high-numbered, which would certainly make them more exploitable than the known ones. It would be interesting to see if these guys could actually do what they claim though. I have suspicions this is all just fodder to help defend themselves against the FBI charges.
