Last Thursday, Cynet in collaboration with BugSec, discovered a serious vulnerability issue affecting LG G3 smartphones. They informed LG about the issue prior to going public with it, and the company jumped into action quickly. A patch is now available that closes the data-theft hole, and LG is encouraging all G3 owners to to get the latest update for their devices ASAP.

The bug is found in a particular app called Smart Notice that comes pre-installed on LG G3 smartphones. The notification platform serves to convey a variety of relevant information to users, but what it failed to do was analyze data thoroughly before presenting it. Researchers discovered it was possible to manipulate data in such a way that malicious code could be executed remotely.
“The vulnerability can easily lead to authentic phishing attacks and to a full denial of service (DOS) on the device,” wrote Cynet. Since the app comes pre-installed, the number of affected devices is estimated to be a whooping 10 million worldwide.
If you are interested in knowing the workings of this exploit , Ars Technica has a more comprehensive write-up detailing the two ways researchers were able to compromise devices through the bug. In the meantime, if you’ve got a G3 or know someone who does, better get that device updated before it “updates” you.
