Perception Point company announced the discovery of a new security flaw in the Linux system is able to overthrow more than 66% of Android devices and millions of computers that are running with Linux.
New loophole that allows hackers access to full powers, any user who has the authority on the Linux server system can be exploited and access to the powers of the root. In Android 4.4 onwards, any application can manipulate the powers and execute the orders at the level of the core operating system and thus control the device without restrictions.
The company did not yet monitored any exploit a loophole in public, but the devices will remain vulnerable to exploitation at any time, unless they are tinkering with the Linux kernel and the Android system as soon as possible.
