This paper, to be presented by the research team at the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers' Security and Privacy Symposium next month, sheds light on security issues resulting from the way Android is updated, more specifically how Android's Package Management Service (PMS) works.In the paper, the research team said, "We confirmed the presence of the issues in all Android Open Source Project versions and 3,522 source-code versions customized by Samsung, LG, and HTC.Those flaws affect all the Android devices worldwide, posing serious threats to billions of Android users who are encouraged to update their systems."The researchers determined Android allows installed applications, if so designed, to obtain additional capabilities without the owner's consent, just by updating the phone's operating system to a newer version.The key is the phrase, "if so designed." In order to test the theory, the research team led by Dr.Xiao Feng Wang, head of Indiana University's Security Systems Lab, created malware that will leverage the update vulnerability.Our recommendation is to download and install as soon as possible.Some software updates require you to restart your computer in order to complete the installation process.
