“Fresh from sorting out the Stagefright flaw, Google has another serious security vulnerability in Android on its hands.  A privilege escalation hole allows normal apps to gain superpowers to snoop on a device’s owner, smuggle in malware, and wreak other havoc.  The vulnerability, CVE-2015-3825, affects about 55 per cent of Android handsets – basically version 4.3 and above, as well as the current build of Android M.  Flaws in the OpenSSLX509Certificate class in Android can be exploited by an app to compromise the system_server process – and gain powerful system-level access on the device.”
