Google has fixed a new batch of vulnerabilities in Android that could allow hackers to take over devices remotely or through malicious applications. The company released over-the-air firmware updates for its Nexus devices Monday and will publish the patches to the Android Open Source Project repository by Wednesday. The most serious flaw is located in the mediaserver Android component, a core part of the operating system that handles media playback and corresponding file metadata parsing. The vulnerability is particularly dangerous because it can be exploited remotely by tricking users into opening specifically crafted media files in their browsers or by sending such files via multimedia messages.”]
