After discovering a longstanding exploit in Android firmware  dating back to version 1.6 that allowed malicious developers to  circumvent software security measures, Bluebox Security released an  Android app this week for users to check whether their phone is still  vulnerable to the exploit. Since Bluebox's report last week, Google acknowledged the issue  and released a patch that it says is in the hands of OEMs and already  being pushed out by certain manufacturers (Samsung, for one). The app is  thankfully free, and should provide some much-needed reassurance to  most Android users. Head to the source link below to snag it for  yourself.
