Today, Apple has released the newest updated version of iOS - 4.3.4. This release is a rebuttal to the PDF exploit found and implemented in comex (@comex)'s JailbreakMe 3.0. The PDF hole was a security issue regardless of the involvement of JailbreakMe - however, news of this hole reached Apple because of what comex did with JailbreakMe 3.0 (also potentially by the leaked version before release of JailbreakMe 3.0). iOS 4.3.4 is for all iDevices - iPhone, iPod, and iPad (1 - 2).
A word of warning from MuscleNerd (@MuscleNerd):
If you value your jailbreak, do NOT update: make sure to preserve your SHSH blobs also.
A support document from Apple gives an overview of the security content in iOS 4.3.4:

A shout-out to @iNeal11 for catching my attention on Twitter - give him a follow!
UPDATED: This update includes Verizon devices also (4.2.9). Same disclaimer as above.
