This looks very scary, especially given how many Android devices are out there that receive few or no security updates.

- padde 9y agoAgreed. And just checked - my Samsung Galaxy S8 is vulnerable, no update available. Thanks Samsung! This one will get nasty...
- wohlergehen 9y agoWell, I've been meaning to root mine and flash crDroid... This is certainly the final push. They state 10% of all Android devices are vulnerable and won't get patches, and since the vulnearbility is arguably wormable I can't see how these devices will stay clean.
- yumaikas 9y agoDoes keeping the BlueTooth radio turned off help here?
- sevensor 9y agoI have the same question -- I turned off the Bluetooth radio on my phone the day I got it, and I've never turned it back on. But does that mean the radio is actually powered down, or is the phone blocking Bluetooth at a higher level? Similarly, or possibly the same question, is an rfkill soft block adequate for a laptop with bluetooth?
- voltagex_ 9y agoI got the August security update yesterday - how do I check if I'm vulnerable?
- AlfeG 9y agoOn other hand. My MiBox 3 suddenly received update.
- carlmr 9y agoAt this point in time buying Samsung is just a bad decision. Have you checked out custom ROMs?
