This update contains improvements and other bug fixes including:

– Fixes a bug that could allow someone to bypass the passcode and access the Phone app

It has also been announced by MuscleNerd, one of the team behind the Evasi0n jailbreak, that the update will fix a bug associated with hack. He has warned jailbreakers not to update to the latest version via Twitter:

The update started life as iOS 6.1.1 a month or so ago, but after Apple released a couple of emergency updates to fix bugs, the release was pushed back and became iOS 6.1.3.
