Google today released to open source a new patch for the infamous Stagefright vulnerability found in 950 million Android devices after researchers at Exodus Intelligence discovered the original patch was incomplete and Android devices remain exposed to attack.
“We’ve already sent the fix to our partners to protect users, and Nexus 4/5/6/7/9/10 and Nexus Player will get the OTA update in the September monthly security update,” a Google spokesperson told Threatpost. Last week at Black Hat, Google announced that it would begin monthly OTA security updates for Nexus, and that Samsung and LG also committed to providing carriers with regular updates.
The original four-line code fix for CVE-2015-3824, one of several patches submitted by researcher Joshua Drake of Zimperium Mobile Security’s zLabs who discovered the flaw in Stagefright, still leads to a crash and device takeover. Jordan Gruskovnjak, a security researcher at Exodus, found the problem with the patch, and Exodus founder Aaron Portnoy today hinted that there could be similar problems in all the patches.
