hear that in Android smartphones found some vulnerability that is inherent in a line-up of any particular vendor.

And now developers Replicant our backdoor devices Samsung, but we are not talking about additional software , slightly more serious problem .
Backdoor discovered in radio module . The vulnerable software is responsible for modem devices and RFS- performance teams. By making the necessary instructions , you can get access to the use of read-write function on the device.

Certainly not . Radio is - much more serious thing . The same will be used in the official firmware from Samsung and third party firmware from craftsmen. Precisely because the vulnerability affects a variety of devices .

Including the Galaxy Nexus and Google Nexus S. It is interesting - the process can be started with route - rights.
