Billions of Android Devices Vulnerable to Privilege Escalation Except Android 5.0 Lollipop

Android mobile operating system versions below 5.0 that puts potentially every Android device at risk for privilege escalation attacks, has been patched in Lollipop. The security vulnerability (CVE-2014-7911), discovered by a security researcher named Jann Horn, could allow any potential attacker to bypass the Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) defense and execute arbitrary code of their choice on a target device under certain circumstances. The flaw resides in Java, which fails to check whether an Object that is being deserialized is actually a serializable object.
