Lumension: Security researchers at IBM have gone public about a critical security vulnerability in the Android operating system, that could allow hackers to remotely execute code on users’ devices and steal sensitive information.
The flaw, which was discovered nine months ago by researchers of the Application Security team at IBM but has only now been made public, affects everyone who is running Android 4.3 (Jellybean) rather than running the most up-to-date version of Android – version 4.4, known as KitKat.
