Again you heard of the security flaw in Android. Last time, Google has fixed some security flaws which included the core part of the system. This time also, it include the core of the system.
Google has fixed a dozen security vulnerabilities of which 5 are rated critical.This time, Android 5.0 and later are the versions affected.
You might think that you would have heard this on this vulnerability before. That's because month after month, the "mediaserver" service remains the most problematic component of Android. Google has copied and pasted almost every word from the same text every month for every component affected.
The critical vulnerability affects the core part of (Android) software which has got the access to permissions that the third-party apps do not have. Another flaw that exists in handling of bluetooth and Wi-Fi handling of the Android software. Other flaws include those that affect the kernel.
While it's a good news that Google's own security team discovered the flaw, it's surely not good to hear that the most popular mobile operating system has been affected by critical flaws.
