In a related concept, what is a reliable way of checking whether your phone has the patches? Recently I got an update to my Moto X 2nd Gen to Version 23.16.5.en.US (Verizon carrier) which takes me to Lollipop 5.1. But most lists I see about patches and which phones are fixed are from back in August.
- whoopdedo 11y agoZimperium, the white hats who discovered the problem, has an app the check if your OS is vulnerable. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zimperium.stagefrightdetector https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zimperium.... I think it's fair to assume anyone getting updates in the last two months has been patched. Samsung even (partially) fixed it in the two-year old S3.
- discreditable 11y agoIt's still not completely fixed on my Samsung Galaxy S 5. According to that app I'm open to CVE-2015-3864, which doesn't seem to have any details [1]. 1. https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2015-3864 https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2015-38...
