Researchers at NorthBit have discovered a new variant of last year's notorious Stagefright vulnerability that threatens all unpatched Android devices.
In July of 2015, the security team at Zimperium first published its research on Stagefright, a critical security vulnerability in Android phones which could be used by attackers to silently and remotely infect them with malware.
Zimperium's researchers explained in last summer's post that with only a target's phone number, attackers can send a user a specially crafted media file delivered via Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS). A successful exploit requires absolutely no user input before compromising the device, leaving the victim with a compromised phone through which attackers can spy on their activities.
