Samsung: Exynos 5 processors are vulnerable to serious attack

[bekdik]

Heads up

Got a Samsung S II or S III, Galaxy Note or Note II, or the Galaxy Tab 2.8 or Galaxy 10.1 among your users in the enterprise? Get ready for a rough day.

Before you have coffee — or during — find out who’s got these devices in your biz, who has rooted them and who hasn’t, and remove all company data from them. Stat. Here’s why. According to XDA Developers news that bubbled up to boiling point over the last several hours, Samsung devices powered by the Exynos 5 processors are vulnerable to serious attack — some of which will access any data you’ve got stored in RAM and, no one yet seems quite sure, EEPROM.

Without installing a dodgy application, how would this exploit be used against you?

Chainfire already has an app to prevent the exploit
