CERT-In cautions Android users about security flaws
By MYBRANDBOOK
A warning regarding security flaws in Android devices has been issued by the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In). These vulnerabilities can let attackers gain access to confidential data, higher system privileges and execute code remotely. CERT-IN noted that these threats were found in Android versions prior 12, v12L, v13 and v14.
Due to “flaws in the System, Google Play system updates, Framework, Kernel MediaTek components, Qualcomm components, Arm components, Imagination Technologies, and Qualcomm close-source components” these gaps occurred.
The cybersecurity agency CERT-In, last week, had warned of multiple vulnerabilities in Apple’s products and their operating systems for iPhones, iPads, and televisions.
CERT-In advises the users to install updates that are out on these devices and ensure their Android devices are operating on the latest available software version. The cybersecurity agency also advised users to download apps from trusted sources, and activate automatic updates for both applications and OS.
Additionally, users should also be cautious before clicking on random messages, emails or links, especially ones asking for personal details or credentials to avoid phishing attacks.
In case of a compromise, user can feel a sudden slowdown in their device and there could be automatic installations of random apps or pop-ups that re-direct user’s link automatically. Users can factory reset their phone and also back up their phone on a cloud service.
Devices powered by Qualcomm and MediaTek processors, including Android phones and tablets, are among those affected.
