Two security vendors have released temporary fixes for a flaw in some Samsung Android phones. The problem comes from Samsung’s implementation of the emergency call feature. The number of devices affected isn’t known, but Lookout found it affects the Galaxy S3, the S3 Mini and Note II. Samsung has not patched the issue yet; the flaw is serious since it means anyone who lost their phone is at risk of having their phone’s data accessed. The most severe variation can allow persistent access to the device until the phone is rebooted.”]
