In the face of the most serious vulnerabilities in history, Google has taken new measures against Android, ......

A few days ago, the network security organization Zimperium found a Stagefright vulnerability on the Android system. It is the most serious vulnerability in the history of Android, and affects about 95% of Android phones. It is possible to find any system version between Android 2.2 and Android 5.1 many years ago. The most serious thing about it is that hackers only need to know your mobile phone number and send a MMS Message (you do not need to open this message) to intrude into your mobile phone, execute Code remotely to read and control the content on your mobile phone.

For hackers, this vulnerability is easy to execute, supports a wide range, does not need to be triggered by the user, and is concealed. It is really a must-have for home travelers to kill and set fire to your mobile phone.

Of course, Google cannot sit around. For this purpose, they announced today that, apart from regular platform upgrades, all Nexus devices will receive OTA update push every month starting this week. The first security update was released on July 15, August 5, which will fix the Stagefright issue. Nexus devices will continue to receive security updates for three years after the release or one and a half years after the removal of Google Store.

Sounds good, right? I am afraid that at this time, I am afraid that only Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7, Nexus 9, Nexus 10, and Nexus Player will receive the push. If you buy Galaxy Nexus, the "three princes" from the Nexus family, Google has not made any promises.

After Google announced monthly Security updates, Samsung quickly followed up. According to Security Week, Samsung will soon Push Security updates to its Android-based Galaxy device, however, it still does not mention whether the Galaxy Nexus will be taken care.

In fact, Google has prepared a patch before The vulnerability is discovered, but as The Verge said, it is like every Android update that many users have to wait a long time to receive The patch, it is too troublesome to push a patch to so many Android phones through different mobile phone manufacturers.

But what if your Android phone is not in the Nexus series? Google did not specify the path, but had to wait for the follow-up from various mobile phone manufacturers.
