Apple has just released iOS 9.3.4 which kills the Pangu jailbreak used by many to jailbreak iOS 9.2 - iOS 9.3.3.
The security document for iOS 9.3.4 lists just one security issue resolved: an IOMobileFrameBuffer memory corruption issue used by Pangu Team to facilitate their jailbreak.
--- ● IOMobileFrameBuffer Available for: iPhone 4s and later, iPad 2 and later, iPod touch (5th generation) and later Impact: An application may be able to execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges Description: A memory corruption issue was addressed through improved memory handling. CVE-2016-4654: Team Pangu ---
If you are jailbroken or looking to jailbreak make sure you do not accidentally update to iOS 9.3.4 or you will lose the ability to jailbreak your device.

Update to 9.3.3 - August 6, 2016 at 1:24pm
If you are on iOS 9 but haven't updated to 9.3.3, I would highly suggest you do for the sole reasons of the vulnerabilities listed on the Apple website. Especially if you carry sensitive information on your idevice. Don't take my word for it, read about it on Forbes regarding the Stagefright-like vulnerabilities.

I will stay on good 8.4 until my iPhone 6 is alive!
After that, probably look for a phone, that let me do, what I want!
(Hello, Edge!)
Sorry Apple, but I don't want to be forced to get my Phone slower, and full of stuff, I don't need!

The easiest way you can avoid any future updates is make the storage full enough or keep the battery low. Plus you can do what you want with jailbreak.

Since it says that the vulnerability is present in iPhone 4s and above, why didn't they release a jailbreak for 32 bit devices?

No news about closed signing of iOS 9.3.3. Quick, update your iOS and jailbreak it.

Use a TSS status checker to check that stuff. It's crazy that they're still signing 9.3.2 and 9.3.3(not as surprising.)

That would be a stupid move you got an untethered jailbreak so why would you even consider upgrading is behind me.
