Google plugs serious Android exploit, OEMs to issue fixes

There was a huge, gaping exploit that enabled hackers to enslave regular apps in the Play Store with malicious code. Well, it seems that Google has finally gotten around to patching this particularly problematic flaw and OEM partners are expected to push out updates to secure the millions of devices that are open to attack. Companies like Samsung and even custom ROM's like CyanogenMod have started pushing out updates to address the issue. As for the rest of Google' partners and carriers, only time will tell when they will update their customer's devices.
