There is an Android kernel implementation flaw being investigated a lot closer by Samsung Electronics in their devices. Since Google does not have any official devices that Android can solely run on, that means specific device-makers have to implement the Android kernel into its devices.

Apparently, any app can use this vulnerability to exploit and gain root access to the device. Affected devices include the following Samsung devices:


  • Galaxy Note
  • Galaxy Note II
  • Galaxy Note 10.1
  • Galaxy Note Plus
  • S2
  • S3
