Security vendor Check Point Software Technologies unveils new Android ‘Certifi-gate’ flaw. The flaw is due to components in the Android operating system that are digitally signed, but vulnerable to attack. Check Point says the vulnerabilities are present in hundreds of millions of Android devices, including smartphones and tablets manufactured by HTC, LG, Samsung and ZTE. Google and some original equipment manufacturers have finally promised that they will soon begin releasing monthly platform and security updates for some Android devices. Google has long maintained Android as an open source project, and says it is up to manufacturers and carriers to decide how or if they will patch their own devices.”]
