Hundreds of thousands, and perhaps millions of Android devices have a problem. Discovered a serious security flaw in the memory, which could expose users to leakage of confidential data.
Encryption storage in Android can be overcome by a series of attacks brute-force, using various vulnerabilities scattered throughout the system. This is not the fault of the system itself, and what’s more, it’s possible that this can not be patched by the software update.
Android uses associated with the PIN’s 2048-bit RSA encryption key, in practice, impossible to break by brute-force attack. However, processors Qualcommu have the faulty implementation of the security modules, which in combination with the imperfections Android kernel, allows an attacker to obtain the key.
It is not known whether it is possible to patch this through a software update.
