Title: Google Android Exploit Allows Remote Takeover via MMS

 

Description:

A very serious security vulnerability in Google's Android operating

system allows a remote attacker to take complete control of their mobile

phone by simply sending a text message. Furthermore, the recipient

doesn't even have to open it for the exploit to work! The vulnerability

was discovered in the Stagefright code of Android and has been in use

since 2010 (as part of the 2.2 release). Google has sense patched the

vulnerability but millions of devices are still at risk as Google no

longer supports some older versions of the operating system.
