Google researchers found 11 vulnerabilities in Samsung’s Galaxy S6 Edge code. They were part of an experiment to see how vulnerable the code that manufacturers add to Android can be. The vulnerabilities could be exploited to create files with system privileges, steal the user’s emails, execute code in the kernel and escalate the privilege of unprivileged applications. Android’s code has its own vulnerabilities, but Google has built platform-wide defenses and access controls to make exploitation harder. Samsung fixed all of the bugs before Google’s 90-day disclosure deadline.”]
