   Apple Releases iOS 9.3.4 with a Single Security Fix

   Josh Centers

   Just a few short weeks after the iOS 9.3.3 update (see '[1]Apple
   Releases OS X 10.11.6, iOS 9.3.3, tvOS 9.2.2, and watchOS 2.2.2,' 18
   July 2016), Apple has released iOS 9.3.4. It contains a single
   [2]security fix for an IOMobileFrameBuffer vulnerability that could
   allow apps to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges. That means
   that a malicious app could do nearly anything it wanted on the device.

   It's unusual for Apple to update an operating system for just one
   vulnerability, which suggests that the potential exploit may be more
   concerning than many others. As such, we recommend that you install iOS
   9.3.4 soon. It's a roughly 25 MB download, and you can update via
   Settings > General > Software Update or through iTunes.
