L’home dibuixat

[ComputerWorld] Researcher warns of critical Google bug in G1 phone. Charlie Miller, el mateix que ha descobert algunes vulnerabilitats de seguretat a l'iPhone, avisa ara d'un problema important al sistema operatiu Android i la seva primera implementació, el G1 de T-Mobile.

El problema sembla relacionat amb la utilització de versions antigues d'alguns productes inclosos dins d'Android:

Android is based on over 80 different open source packages. The vulnerability is due to the fact Google did not use the most up to date versions of all these packages. In other words, this particular security vulnerability that affects the G1 phone was known and fixed in the relevant software package, but Google used an older, still vulnerable version. So as not to inform the "bad guys", we will not release any further information on the particular vulnerability or software package until a fix is available.
