Samsung’s Galaxy S4, S4 Mini, S5 and Note 4 smartphones could be exploited by remote attackers to endlessly reboot targeted devices. The security holes, which thankfully Samsung has now issued fixes for, are exploited via WAP configuration messages pushed to targeted devices with minimum (or no) user interaction. The most recent versions of the Samsung Galaxy were clearly not as at much risk, but the researchers observed that vulnerable earlier editions of the phone are surprisingly popular around the world. Similar attacks might also be possible on Android phones made by other manufacturers, and not just Samsung.”]
