Google security researchers often disclose severe security issues that affect various products or operating systems. While they might anger some of the company’s competitors in the process, Google does the same thing with its own software. The company just unearthed a severe security flaw that should have been patched all the way back in December 2017, and it could allow an attacker to spy on a victim’s device. The list of potentially affected devices includes several high-end handsets like the Pixel, Pixel 2, Galaxy S9, and Huawei P20 series. However, it’s not all bad news, as the company is already rolling out fixes. Furthermore, as dangerous as the flaw might be, it doesn’t allow remote access to a device without the prior installation of a different piece of malware.
