Android Flaw Gives Apps Elevated Privileges

[silicon_toad2000]

Close on the heels of Stagefright, another vulnerability has been found
to affect Android devices. A flaw in the OpenSSLX509Certificate class
allows apps to elevate privileges, allowing them to snoop on vulnerable
devices, install malware, and cause other problems. More than half of
Android handsets are believed to be vulnerable.
