Android devices can be fatally hacked by malicious Wi-Fi networks | Ars Technica
'The vulnerability resides in a widely used Wi-Fi chipset manufactured by Broadcom and used in both iOS and Android devices. '
'Attackers could obviously exploit the same series of flaws to surreptitiously execute malicious code on vulnerable devices within range of a rogue access point. ', "At the moment, it's not clear if there are effective workarounds available for vulnerable devices."
'Turning off Wi-Fi is one possibility, but as revealed in recent research into an unrelated Wi-Fi-related weakness involving Android phones, devices often relay Wi-Fi frames even when Wi-Fi is turned off. '
'"An attacker within range may be able to execute arbitrary code on the Wi-Fi chip," Apple's accompanying advisory warned. '
