This is specially critical for devices NOT YET running a firmware from the 5.9.x firmware series.
At least if you want to jail break the device, since we can not jail break any of the 5.9.x series firmwares.
If you want to know when a new blocking method is invented, just subscribe to this thread.

Do you know how far this goes yet? In order to maximize my protection I not only created the top level directory, I created a sub-directory with a file in it and marked them all read-only. I have not tested this to see if it is sufficient, but perhaps someone with serial access for a fallback can test and see if this would be enough. Obviously they want to have serial access before the test to permit them to return to an earlier firmware release.
