The Android "Stagefright" vulnerability

Here is an article on the "Threatpost" site about a set of remotely exploitable media-library vulnerabilities present on vast numbers of Android devices. "An attacker in possession of their target’s phone number could send an MMS or even a Google Hangouts message to an affected device that triggers the vulnerability before the victim has a chance to open the message. In some cases, the attack would delete the MMS in question, leaving behind only a notification that a message was sent."
