A few days ago, a security researcher revealed that up to 950 million Android devices are susceptible to a hack that takes advantage of one of the platform’s messaging features. Since then, Google and various OEMs confirmed they’re releasing, or will release, fixes for Stagefright – which is what the security issue has been named.
