Google assigned CVE-2015-6602 to vulnerability in libutils,\u201d said Zimperium zLabs.<\/p>\n<p>The security company said the vulnerability lies in the processing of metadata within the files, so previewing the song or video would trigger the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Since the primary attack vector of MMS has been removed in newer versions of Google\u2019s Hangouts and Messenger apps, the likely attack vector would be via the Web browser.<\/p>\n<p>Zimperium zLabs added that it plans to share CVE information for the second vulnerability as soon as it is available.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More on Android Stagefright<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/security\/134288-massive-android-stagefright-security-flaw-google-and-manufacturers-respond.html\">Massive Android Stagefright security flaw: Google and manufacturers respond<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/security\/133430-your-android-smartphone-can-be-hacked-with-one-message.html\"><strong>Your Android smartphone can be hacked with one message<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zimperium zLabs has released details about Stagefright 2.0 &#8211; a set of Android vulnerabilities that manifest when processing specially-crafted audio or video files.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":134290,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[36,397,33180,31808],"class_list":["post-140654","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-security","tag-active","tag-android","tag-stagefright-2-0","tag-zimperium-zlabs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140654"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/23"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140654"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140654\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":140664,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140654\/revisions\/140664"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/134290"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140654"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140654"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybroadband.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140654"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
