The latest security vulnerability broke out in Android mobile phones. According to the latest research by “CheckPoint”, hackers will use the old music encoding format developed by Apple to remotely control mobile phones. More than two-thirds of Android mobile phones in the world may suffer.
《CheckPoint》It is pointed out that the key to this vulnerability is that Apple’s ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) music format, which is suitable for compressed files with lossless sound quality, was launched in iTunes in 2004, and later Apple open-sourced the code at the end of 2011, so many Android brands have followed up, including Qualcomm and MediaTek’s processing chips.

In recent years, Apple has continued to update ALAC and patched loopholes, but Qualcomm and MediaTek have not followed up and continue to use the old version of the open source code. “Check Point” found that the old version of ALAC may allow hackers to conduct RCE remote attacks through fake file formats, execute malicious commands on mobile phones, or manipulate all internal permissions, including recording and microphone.
This disaster covers almost all mainstream Android phones. As long as they use Qualcomm and MediaTek chips, they will be affected. At present, the vulnerabilities have been fixed through updates. The best way to avoid this vulnerability is to update your Android phones as soon as possible. .
