“Google and its Android partners on Wednesday started distributing a fix for a vulnerability that could cause millions of phones to execute malicious code when they’re sent a malformed text message or the user is lured to a malicious website. The flaw in an Android code library known as Stagefright was disclosed last week, several months after security researchers privately reported it to engineers responsible for Google’s Android operating system. Google engineers, in turn, have introduced changes to the Android text messaging app Messenger. The changes mitigate the threat by requiring users to click on videos before playing them.”
