Bluebox Security sees security holes in nearly all Android devices

Bluebox Security sees security holes in nearly all Android devices

Uh-oh ? Bluebox Security researchers invormed publiclt that they've found a dangerous security flaw in Android that may affect up to 99 percent of Android devices in existence. The firm claims the vulnerability has existed since Android 1.6, and notes that it notified Google of the exploit in February. Google says it's working on a patch for its Nexus devices, and it seems that the responsibility to issue updates falls to the device manufacturers.

Interestingly, Samsung's Galaxy S4 already has the fix, making it one of the few Android devices that's immune to this security flaw.

According to Bluebox, this vulnerability has existed since Android 1.6 (Donut), which gives malicious app developers the ability to modify the code of a legitimate APK, all without breaking its cryptographic signature -- thereby allowing the installation to go unnoticed. To pull off the exploit, a rotten app developer would first need to trick an unknowing user into installing the malicious update, but hackers could theoretically gain full control of a user's phone if the "update" posed as a system file from the manufacturer.

That sounds like an overheat-type crash, but you said your temps are fine. 85*C might be a bit too toasty for your laptop, have you tried dusting it out?

I completely dusted it out. I should have mentioned that the crashes are quite erratic aswell in that they can happen within the 1st 20 seconds of a game where the temp wouldn't even have hit 70*C.

Does anyone have any idea as to what might be causing this crash?


Summer, you cant affect it.

I recommend a cheap 5-10$ upgrade, go to a local PC store and buy a laptop holder, with huge 210 mm fan under it, it will keep the laptop a bit cooler.

I found out that I'm getting this error when i alt-tabbed out just as the game crashed.

"nvidia kernel mode driver has stopped responding and has recovered"

and this error appeared before it

"application League of Legends has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware"

Maybe a driver problem. What version are you using? The last "more stable" version is 314.22, try using it and report back.
