After discovering a longstanding exploit in Android firmware
dating back to version 1.6 that allowed malicious developers to
circumvent software security measures, Bluebox Security released an
Android app this week for users to check whether their phone is still
vulnerable to the exploit. Since Bluebox's report last week, Google acknowledged the issue
and released a patch that it says is in the hands of OEMs and already
being pushed out by certain manufacturers (Samsung, for one). The app is
thankfully free, and should provide some much-needed reassurance to
most Android users. Head to the source link below to snag it for
yourself.
