Google patches Android after Bitcoin wallet issue

Google is distributing patches for a cryptography flaw in Android that may affect hundreds of thousands of applications. The patches have been passed to partners belonging to the Open Handset Alliance, a trade group dedicated to development of Android. Affected applications are those that rely on the pseudo random number generator (PRNG) within the Java Cryptography Architecture or invoke the system-provided OpenSSL PRNG without explicit initialization on Android. The flaw became widely known after a Bitcoin developer group warned Sunday that it made bitcoins stored in some Android software clients vulnerable to theft.”]
