Poking Holes In Samsung's Android Security

[wraggster]

Tired of waiting for Samsung to fix a string of critical flaws (http://randomthoughts.greyhats.it/2013/03/owning-samsung-phones-for-fun-but-with.html) in their smartphones running Android, Italian security researcher Roberto Paleari has decided to inform the public about the seriousness of the matter and maybe make the company pick up the pace. Mindful of the danger that the vulnerabilities present to the users if they are exploited by malicious individuals, he decided not to share any technical details, but to just give a broad overview of what their misuse would allow (http://www.net-security.org/secworld.php?id=14634). This includes a silent installation of highly-privileged applications with no user interaction and an app performing almost any action on the victim's phone."
