Android Stagefright bug exploit sample code published
 

Roughly a month after the frightful Stagefright Android vulnerability was disclosed, Zimperium's security researchers have published sample code for exploiting the bug. As a refresher, Stagefright is a critical vulnerability in Android that allows attackers to perform remote code execution, and it affected 95% of Android handsets at the time it was reported. For the nitty-gritty, you can watch this Black Hat conference video.

Since the disclosure, Google has published updated versions of its Hangouts and Messaging apps, plugging the worst of the attack vectors—a booby-trapped MMS could provide root access to an attacker, oftentimes with no indication to the user that something funky was happening.
