Google announced an update to Android devices repairing a critical vulnerability that allowed the attacker to remotely access a smartphone via e- multimedia (MMS). The incident was reported last week by security firm Zimperium, who had alerted the company of this decision.
Known as Stagefright, the vulnerability of Android enabled the attacker could access photos, videos and audio without the need to open an MMS message. With this update, Google prevents this.
At the same time, Google also sent security update to the various mobile phone manufacturers that use Android. Samsung, meanwhile, said it is coordinating with operators for users of its smartphones to receive the patch to prevent attacks by stagefright vulnerability, according to a statement posted on its official blog. .
