One text message can crash Android 12 and 13 phones
Original: One text can crash an Android phone, and Android 12 and 13 won’t get a fix
A newly reported flaw means a single malicious text message can crash Android phones running Android 12 or Android 13, and Google will not patch those versions since they no longer receive security updates. Users on affected devices have no fix available through normal updates, so the crash risk remains. The report has prompted discussion about the growing number of Android devices left without security support.
Why now: Many Android users still run Android 12 or 13 and are alarmed that a known crash bug will never be patched on their devices
