Critical vulnerability in Exynos-based smartphones
The Android kernel, or rather, in the / dev / exynos-mem file, which works with Exynos 4210 and Exynos 4412 mobile processors, revealed a critical vulnerability (such Samsung flagships as Samsung Galaxy S II, Samsung Galaxy S III and Samsung GALAXY Note are affected II, besides, the vulnerability is present on other devices with these processors - for example, Meizu MX). Any Android application through it can control all the physical memory of the device.
According to a member of the XDA Developers forum called alephazin, any application on a smartphone can cause real chaos - in fact, the application can get root and continue to act on its own, for example, erase all files and just “shake” the phone.

Samsung has been notified of the situation and is likely to urgently prepare a patch. While there is an unofficial fix from Supercurio, another XDA member.
