>>56004861
For security this isn't as big of a deal as people make it out to be. You literally have to download an app outside of the playstore to get infected. Most people don't know how to check the "unknown sources" option so most are also pretty safe.

>>56004861
this will only affect retart that install every apk they see

>>56004926
This and stagefright used together could be used to get remote root access to someone's phone by sending them a text message.
:^)
But seriously, no, it's not a security thing. But it's exciting because we'll be able to root a bunch of previously unrootable devices!

This is a flaw in Qualcomm's CPUs, has nothing to do with Linux. It's arbitrary that Qualcomm CPUs only traditionally run Linux. Every Android device with any non-Qualcomm CPU is unaffected.

>>56005034
>flaw in Qualcomm's CPUs
It's not a fucking exploit on the hardware you idiot, it's an exploit for the shitty drivers that Android uses with the Qualcomm CPU.

Nah dude, that's like that since exynos from Note 1 and Note 2, both could also be rooted using a simple apk that didn't even need root.

Old news is old.

Also:
Thinking that giving the user root access using programs, because that's what apps are, over his own phone should be fucking standard, not the exception.

Why do dumb yanks spell it "rooting", is it so you don't pronounce it "rowting"?

>>56007864

Anon, the administrative user in Unix is called root. It is called rooting because it allows you to run applications as root.

Will this allow me to finally root my G4 on Marshmallow?

>>56009928
Yes it does. Most Android phones will never receive a patch, just like they didn't receive it for Stagefright and are now vulnerable.

>>56004874
Still more secure than Windows 10, which promises more security than previous versions of Windows and yet at the same time does everything in the cloud which by definition makes it less secure. (People have to actually be near your computer to deal with anything stored locally but the, "cloud," can be accessed by anyone anywhere.)

because qualcomm already allows rooting from official sources

>>56004861
Guys, are flip phones and other types of dumbphones immune to this exploit?

>>56009947
this particular vulnerability has nothing to do with android

3/4 of the exploits are already patched I'm cm nightly, the last one already has a number of pull requests being fought over.

This is a non-issue if you're on nightlies

>>56009970
Are you some kind of turbo autist?
It affects Android phones. If said phones actually received updates it would affect them way less.

>>56004884
QC released patches several months ago, and they're already in AOSP.

problem is, non-nexus and non-AOSP-devices rarely get updates, if any.

>>56009997
It effects phones with qualcomm cpus. It is OS agnostic.

>>56009997
You think ios is immune to these kind of stuff?

>>56010059
Immune to 'not receiving security updates'?
Yeah, it seems to be. (At least for a few years.)

>>56004861
Welp, how the fuck do I protect myself from this shit? CM only has unofficial buggy releases for my phone and samsung gives absolutely 0 fucks about patching it.

>>56010074

>>56005906
>No updates
I've got a 3GS stuck on iOS 6 which is basically useless because apps won't even install on it.

Meanwhile my Motorola Droid can still run everything I throw at it, not to mention custom firmware which provides updates too ;^)

>it's an exploit for the shitty drivers that Android uses with the Qualcomm CPU
You mean Qualcomm's drivers?
Stop trying to push the problem onto Android. Qualcomm supply the drivers for their processors.

>>56010093
Don't download random clickbait apps, especially from outside the Play Store, and you will be completely immune.

Someone please make a rooting app using this so i can finally get rid of the chinese root thing i hacked SuperSU on top of.

I suppose rooting your device and having an app like super su authorize root requests wouldn't do much against it, huh? Since apps like that watch for su requests not any action as root...

>All three videos show a general added layer of lag with iOS 9 compared to iOS 8.4.1. On the iPhone 4S and iPhone 5, the boot time was increased by several seconds with iOS 9, while it is nearly the same on the iPhone 5S.
