I have just seen this artice on the BBC website:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-37005226

I have an LG G4 which is one of the phones affected.

I downloaded the Quadroot checker and it found four vulnerabilities:

My question is, is it Vodafone or LG that will be providing the patches to remedy these bugs? And, are they available yet?

cheers,

Iain

The original report implies that you're OK as long as you don't install apps from outside the Play Store. As with most "vulnerabilities", I suspect your have to be pretty casual about safety to be in any serious danger.

The fault appears to have been discovered by reverse-engineering the Qualcomm software, which took something like 6 months. As there are easier ways of compromising any device (mainly dodgy links and downloads), I suspect those will still be the favoured route.

Well, they got there, thanks for the info.

Now I can concentrate on trying to get a sensible response to a Sure Signal problem.

(I'm really, really not holding my breath now).
