Apple releases iOS 9.3.4 security update

Prasad, 05 August, 2016

Before iOS 10 rolls out next month, Apple has snuck in what is possibly the final iOS 9 update. The iOS 9.3.4 available right now for all the compatible iPhone and iPad models is mostly a security update, so don't expect any noticeable changes.

The update fixes one issue in particular, a memory corruption issue, which was addressed through improved memory handling. The issue would cause applications to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. Apple credits a team of jailbreakers - Team Pangu - for bringing this issue to light.

The update also breaks the latest jailbreak for iOS 9, so if you're not too concerned with security and want to keep your jailbreak then you should refrain from updating.
