Yet again a news on security flaws in Android. Google has fixed a serious bug on Android that could remotely be exploited by email, MMS or link on a webpage which contains specially crafted media file. Also, Google patched seven critical flaws in their February patch for nexus devices that would affect the mediaserver service of the Android Operating System. The flaw would mean that your device could be remotely hacked when the mediaserver processes the files delivered by either email or MMS or through a webpage. The flaws affect Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Android 5.0 Lollipop and Android 4.4.4 Kitkat.
Google has also announced some equally serious bug in Broadcom Wi-fi driver that would allow the hacker to remotely corrupt the OS kernel and gain access to the device.
So overall, the February update has addressed 13 security bugs that included seven critical, five highly severe and two moderate.
