iOS 9.0.2 fixes the lock screen security flaw that was introduced in iOS 9, which allowed anyone to bypass passcode to access Photos and Contacts. From iOS 9.0.2 security notes:
Impact: A person with physical access to an iOS device may be able to access photos and contacts from the lock screen
Description: A lock screen issue allowed access to photos and contacts on a locked device. This issue was addressed by restricting options offered on a locked device.
