A researcher at security firm Alert Logic has published code that could be used to compromise some versions of Google s Android Operating System. The exploit, if properly adapted, could make Android phones vulnerable to remote attacks and compromises. The vulnerability in question has been known about for months, but its impact was believed to be limited to Apple’s Safari Web browser and applications such as Epiphany and Midori that run on the Ubuntu Linux operating system. The exploit was patched and will not work on the latest version of Android, 2.2.
